Fifth Metatarsal Bone

Three cases of sural nerve entrapment by an avulsion fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone are reported. The fracture was incurred while running, the foot twisting in a depression in the ground. The fracture included a fairly large piece of bone which avulsed and strutted the overlying sural nerve causing continued pain and dysesthesias for months following the injury. All patients promptly recovered completely following removal of the incriminating, ununited fragment and neurolysis of the sural nerve.

Cause Of Pain

Background: Sural nerve entrapment is an impor­tant but infrequent cause of pain. The sural nerve provides sensation to the posterolateral aspect of the leg, lateral foot and fifth toe. Sural nerve entrapment can be challenging to treat and can cause significant limitation. We present a case of sural nerve entrapment resistant to conservative management that was effectively treated by percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve. Case Report: A 57 year old male came with complaints of pain and tingling sensation on both lower limbs with 50% decrease in sensation to touch (right > left) in lateral aspect of both foot. The patient had tried several conservative modalities with no success. We performed percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve and the patient reported complete improvement in his pain. Conclusion: Percutaneous ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the sural nerve, is a safe and effective treatment for patients with sural nerve entrapment that does not respond to conservative therapy. However, studies are needed to elucidate its effectiveness and safety profile.
