Brief Summary
Common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck (CPN) is one of the most frequent mononeuropathies of the lower extremities. The common peroneal nerve sub serves sensation to the dorsum of the foo...
Detailed Description
The current study is a case control study that was done in the period from January 2015 to January 2016. The study included 70 participants presented with clinical and electrophysiological evidence of...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Participants were eligible for inclusion in the study if they had clinical and motor electrophysiological evidence suggesting common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck
- Clinical evidence of common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck:
- Numbness of the antero lateral aspect of the lower limb from about midway between the knee and the ankle, most of the dorsal aspect of the foot and toes and the web space between the first and second toes.
- Weakness of the leg muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve. The strength of the tibialis anterior (TA), extensor hallucislongus (EHL), and peroneius longus muscles was tested using the Medical Research Council (MRC) rating scale.
- Electrophysiological Motor localizing evidence of common peroneal mononeuropathy at the fibular neck:
- Peroneal motor nerve conduction velocity decrement ≥10 m/s across the fibular neck segment; or focal conduction block, defined as compound motor action potential (CMAP) amplitude and area reduction ≥ 50% across the fibular neck segment.
Exclusion
- Participants were excluded if any of the following was detected:
- Historical or clinical signs suggesting coexisting neurological conditions (e.g. polyneuropathy and motor neuropathy).
- Foot drop with symptoms, signs or radiological findings of L5 radiculopathy in association with CPN.
- Symptoms or signs suggesting systemic clinical illness like diabetes mellitus, renal failure, and hepatic failure.
- Previous surgery for peroneal nerve.
