Review Description

The common peroneal nerve (CPN) is one of the most frequently injured nerves of the lower extremity.One-Third of patients who develop CPN palsy proceed to chronic impairment without signs of recovery.Ankle-foot orthoses can provide improvement with respect to gait dysfunction and are useful as a nonsurgical treatment option.Severe cases of CPN palsy demonstrating no signs of recovery may require operative intervention with tendon transfer.
