Short- and long-term results of common peroneal nerve injuries treated by neurolysis, direct suture or nerve graft
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology Dec 12, 2018
Horteur C, et al. - Researchers evaluated the motor and sensory recovery levels and the functional outcomes after remedial surgery for common peroneal nerve trauma, through either neurolysis, direct suture or nerve graft. They conducted a transversal, observational study of a monocentric cohort of 20 patients who underwent surgery between January 2004 and June 2016, including 16 men and 4 women with median age of 35 ± 11 years. Good results with a motor recovery ratio nearing 80% were yeilded with the surgical treatment by neurolysis and direct suture. Recovery is poor when a nerve graft becomes necessary and a strategy which should be evaluated is resorting to palliative techniques in the shorter run.
