Prophylactic and Therapeutic Peroneal Nerve Decompression for Deformity Correction and Lengthening
نویسنده
چکیده
Nerve injury is one of the most serious and frequent complications of deformity correction and limb lengthening. Acute or gradual deformity correction or limb lengthening is frequently complicated by nerve injury. The peroneal nerve is the most frequently injured around the knee and the upper tibia. Decompression of this nerve should be considered as prophylactic and therapeutic treatment to avoid injury and ensure recovery, respectively. There are 2 tunnels of entrapment near the neck of the fibula. Knowledge of this anatomy is important to all surgeons treating patients at risk of this injury.

Surgical reconstruction for fibular hemimelia
Fibular hemimelia presents with foot deformity and leg length discrepancy. Previous classifications have focused on the degree of fibular deficiency rather than the type of foot deformity. Published methods of surgical reconstruction have often failed due to residual or recurrent foot deformity. The purpose of this report is to introduce new classification and reconstruction methods. The Paley ...
متن کاملRole of hybrid monolateral fixators in managing humeral length and deformity correction
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Humeral lengthening and deformity correction are now being done increasingly for various etiologies. Monolateral external fixators have advantages over traditional Ilizarov circular fixators; they are easy to apply, they are less bulky, and they are therefore more convenient for the patient. We assessed the effectiveness of hybrid monolateral lateral fixators in humeral l...
متن کاملAn operative approach to address severe genu valgum deformity in the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome
BACKGROUND The genu valgum deformity seen in the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is one of the most severe angular deformities seen in any orthopaedic condition. It is likely a combination of a primary genetic-based dysplasia of the lateral portion of the tibial plateau combined with severe soft-tissue contractures that tether the tibia into valgus deformations. Progressive weight-bearing induces ch...
متن کاملEtiology of peroneal spastic flat foot.
A type of rigid flat foot which is accompanied by contraction of the peroneal muscles has long been recognised. The etiology is obscure. Correction of the deformity seems to be prevented by tension of the peroneal muscles, and there has been wide acceptance of the thesis that the deformity is caused by peroneal muscle spasm induced by painful stimuli arising from the tarsal joints. It has been ...
متن کاملSuccessful Reconstruction of Nerve Defects Using Distraction Neurogenesis with a New Experimental Device
Introduction: Repair of peripheral nerve injuries is an intensive area of challenge and research in modern reconstructive microsurgery. Intensive research is being carried out to develop effective alternatives to the standard nerve autografting, avoiding its drawbacks. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed mechanical device for the reconstruction of the...
