Summary: This study evaluates the incidence, clinical evolution, and treatment of common peroneal nerve palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty. The results indicate that CPN palsy is a serious complication with poor functional outcome, and age and intensity of rehabilitation are significant factors for medical rehabilitation after this post-operative complication.

Summary: Managing concurrent knee dislocation and common peroneal nerve injury requires multi-disciplinary coordination involving knee reconstruction, nerve decompression, and foot and ankle surgery.
Surgical techniques like the Bridle Procedure can successfully restore function, with timing of interventions and maintenance of passive range of motion being crucial.

Summary: CPNP is a rare but serious complication following TKA, characterized by common peroneal nerve injury. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, and surgical exploration with fabella excision and nerve neurolysis can effectively alleviate symptoms.

Summary: This study evaluated the peripheral nerve integrity of acute ankle injury patients and found correlations between DTI and MTI of the injured ankle nerves with self-reported pain levels. The findings suggest potential remodeling stages of nerve injury and the relevance of specific injury types with pain pathways.

Summary: This study used machine learning to predict complete peroneal nerve recovery in patients with multiligamentous knee injuries. The results showed that age, BMI, and sex are predictive factors for nerve recovery.

Summary: The study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the clinical outcomes of neurolysis for peroneal nerve palsy (PNP) treatment. It found that neurolysis of the common peroneal nerve is safe and improves ankle dorsiflexion strength in patients with PNP. Future studies should focus on standardized measurement methods for sensory outcomes and higher levels of evidence to better assess the clinical outcomes of neurolysis for PNP treatment.

Summary: MRI scanning can predict the development of chronic ankle instability after an acute lateral ankle sprain, and it is valuable for patients with positive clinical findings in the 10-m walk test, anterior drawer test, and inversion tilt test.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of disuse on thigh muscle induced by unloading and immobilization due to care in patients with severe ankle sprains. The results showed that disuse leads to a significant deficit in the strength of knee muscles, with the hamstrings being more affected than the quadriceps. Therefore, the rehabilitation protocol should include early training of both quadriceps and hamstrings to prevent the risk of iterative ankle injuries and secondary knee injuries.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the anatomical feasibility and axon count of the tibial nerve motor branches and the tibialis anterior motor branch for a direct nerve transfer to reconstruct ankle dorsiflexion. The findings suggest that nerve transfer from the soleus muscle branch to the tibialis anterior muscle is the most favorable option for ankle dorsiflexion reconstruction.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of Common Peroneal Nerve Palsy (CPNP) after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a Peroneal Nerve Release (PNR) procedure in preoperative severe fixed valgus deformities. The results showed that the group that received a PNR procedure had a lower incidence of CPNP compared to the group without PNR.

Summary: Lateral ankle sprains are a common injury that often involves the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL). Evaluating joint laxity in ankle sprains has been subjective, but the Mobil-Aider arthrometer provides a reliable and valid method for assessment. This study found significant differences in anterior translation between healthy ankles and ankles with grade 1 and 2 sprains, highlighting the usefulness of the arthrometer in quantifying orthopaedic examination.

Summary: Femoral nerve palsy and meralgia paresthetica following gynecologic cancer surgery are rare but severe and long-lasting. Factors such as duration of surgery, patient positioning, femoral arterial catheter placement, prior chemotherapy, nicotine abuse, and prior polyneuropathy are associated with the development of these disorders. Symptoms of both disorders typically resolve over time.
