Objective: This study was conducted in order to evaluate both pre- and postoperative clinical and electrophysiological outcomes of the patients which were operated due to common peroneal entrapment neuropathy.
Material and Method: Pre-and postoperative clinical and electrophysiological outcomes of 11 male patients which underwent for peroneal nerve decompression surgery were included in this retrospective study between 2011 and 2016. Results: Electrophysiological and clinical improvements were determined in all of the operated patients except one patient. Conclusion: Surgical decompression is a method which is performed in patients with peroneal nerve entrapment which did not benefit from medical treatment. Electrophysiological methods have been successfully used in diagnosing and follow-up of the treatment. |
