Abstract
|
|
|
|
We retrospectively reviewed the cases of peroneal nerve palsy in seven patients after musculoskeletal tumor resection. Their mean age was 38 years. Three had osteosarcoma in proximal fibula, 2 had chondrosarcoma in proximal fibula and calf and 2 had malignant fibrous histio cytoma in calf. Four of 7 patients had been managed using active dorsiflexion brace. Three patients who underwent tibialis posterior transfer and could walk without brace were able to discontinue the use of the orthosis. Peroneal nerve palsy after wide excision of tumor including peroneal nerve can not resolve spontaneously and results in severe functional disability. To improve the gait function, active surgical treatment should be considered.
