Common Fibular Nerve

Abstract Compression syndromes affecting the common fibular nerve are common and frequently caused by direct pressure upon the fibular tip region. Here, we describe a case of a 50-year-old male presenting with sudden foot drop, which had developed spontaneously. He was on oral anticoagulants due to hereditary thrombophilia (factor-V-Leiden). Neurophysiology examination revealed a common peroneal nerve lesion at the fibular tip. T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a not further classifiable hyperintensity within the common peroneal nerve. Surgical exploration revealed a diffuse intraneural hematoma, which was not evacuated. During follow-up, the nerve function recovered almost completely. In retrospect, MRI findings indicated a hematoma supported by the history of anticoagulant medication.

Superficial Fibular Nerve

Distal to its origination from the sciatic nerve, the common fibular (peroneal) nerve divides into the superficial and deep fibular (peroneal) nerves. Whereas the deep fibular nerve continues its course into the anterior compartment, the superficial fibular nerve (SFN) usually arises near the fibular neck and projects distally within the lateral crural compartment before entering the superficial fascia proximal to the ankle. In this report, we describe a unilateral case where the SFN arises within the anterior crural compartment and remains there for the remainder of its course deep to the deep fascia of the leg. Surgeons should be aware of anomalies such as this, for example, when performing fasciotomies to avoid inadvertently damaging an anomalously placed SFN.

AbstractPeroneal neuropathy is the most frequent mononeuropathy of the lower extremity. Intraneural ganglion cysts (INGCs) are among rare causes of peroneal nerve palsy. According to the articular (synovial) theory, the articular branch plays the key role in the pathogenesis. Patients present with pain around the fibular head and neck, motor weakness resulting in foot drop and paresthesia in the anterolateral calf and foot. Ultrasonography (US) and MRI are both useful in the diagnosis, but MRI is the best imaging modality in the demonstration of the articular connection and the relation of the cyst with adjacent structures, even without special neurography sequences. We present a 32-year-old male patient referred to our neurosurgery clinic with suspicion of lumbar radiculopathy. He presented with right foot drop which began 3 weeks prior. On examination, there was 90% loss in the ankle dorsiflexion and finger extension. Ankle eversion was also weakened. There was no low back or posterolateral thigh pain to suggest L5 radiculopathy and sciatic neuropathy. Following negative lumbar spine MRI, peripheral neuropathy was concerned. Electrodiagnostic evaluations findings were consistent with acute/subacute common peroneal nerve (CPN) axonal neuropathy. Subsequent MRI of knee showed a homogeneous, thin-walled tubular cystic lesion, extending along the course of the CPN and its articular branch. Full recovery of the neuropathy was achieved with early diagnosis and decompression via microsurgical epineurotomy. The diagnosis of INGC was confirmed by histopathologic examination. INGCs, although rare, should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral mononeuropathies.

Thousands of people worldwide suffer from peripheral nerve injuries and must deal daily with the resulting physiological and functional deficits. Recent advances in this field are still insufficient to guarantee adequate outcomes, and the development of new and compelling therapeutic options require the use of valid preclinical models that effectively replicate the characteristics and challenges associated with these injuries in humans. In this study, we established a sheep model for common peroneal nerve injuries that can be applied in preclinical research with the advantages associated with the use of large animal models. The anatomy of the common peroneal nerve and topographically related nerves, the functional consequences of its injury and a neurological examination directed at this nerve have been described. Furthermore, the surgical protocol for accessing the common peroneal nerve, the induction of different types of nerve damage and the application of possible therapeutic options were described. Finally, a preliminary morphological and stereological study was carried out to establish control values for the healthy common peroneal nerves regarding this animal model and to identify preliminary differences between therapeutic methods. This study allowed to define the described lateral incision as the best to access the common peroneal nerve, besides establishing 12 and 24 weeks as the minimum periods to study lesions of axonotmesis and neurotmesis, respectively, in this specie. The post-mortem evaluation of the harvested nerves allowed to register stereological values for healthy common peroneal nerves to be used as controls in future studies, and to establish preliminary values associated with the therapeutic performance of the different applied options, although limited by a small sample size, thus requiring further validation studies. Finally, this study demonstrated that the sheep is a valid model of peripheral nerve injury to be used in pre-clinical and translational works and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nerve injury therapeutic options before its clinical application in humans and veterinary patients.
