Abstract

Common peroneal nerve injury has been reported as the most frequent lower extremity peripheral nerve injury. The peroneal nerve may be particulary prone to direct or indirect injury by penetrating trauma or external compression by it's superficial route to bony prominence of fibular neck. By the development of microsurgical technique, recently epineural repair, fascicular group repair, and interfascicular graft were tried. The authors have experienced five cases microsurgical repair of common peroneal nerve injury around the knee joint from December 1990 to November 1991, and motor and sensory result was relatively good.
