However, there are only few papers focusing on their surgical management, while no thoroughly analyzed cases following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) acetabular fracture. This paper aimed to describe such case discuss current trends manag...

The presence of an accessory deep peroneal nerve may alter the usual clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of peroneal nerve lesions. Three cases of such an anomalous innervation and a peroneal nerve lesion are presented.

Peroneal nerve compromise results in the clinical complaint of weakness of the ankle dorsiflexors and evertors. This peripheral origin of foot drop has been reported due to numerous traumatic and insidious causes. Traumatic causes of nerve injury occur in association with musculoskeletal injury or with isolated nerve traction, compression, or laceration. Insidious causes include mass lesions an...
