Abstract
|
|
|
|
The posterior deep tendinous fascia of the peroneus longus muscle is known as the primary entrapment point in primary compression neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve (CPN) around the head of the fibular. However, complete decompression requires devision of all surrounding tendinous structures encroaching the nerve. We report a case of CPN palsy due to compression by deep tendinous fascia superficial to the soleus muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging was not diagnostic. The compression of the CPN by the deep tendinous fascia superficial to the soleus muscle was identified during the operation. Understanding these anatomical variants is essential to the surgeons attempting surgical decompression of the CPN at the head of the fibular, so that all compressing structures may be released appropriately.
