Abstract:Background: There is increasing interest in the evaluation and management of compressive neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve (CPN). Purpose: We sought to determine demographic and electrodiagnostic predictors for resolution of symptoms after CPN decompression for compressive neuropathy. We hypothesized that severity of neuropathy (as measured by compound motor amplitudes and active or chronic denervation on electromyography) would be associated with symptom resolution after CPN decompression. Methods: We p… Show more
