Presentation
We present a patient who developed a right anterior leg compartment syndrome and bilateral common peroneal nerve paralysis following radical hysterectomy in the lithotomy position. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Approach to footdrop: 1) determine if unilateral or bilateral If lesion is unilateral: a) Determine site of lesion i.e. common peroneal nerve / sciatic nerve / L5 radiculopathy or anterior horn cell*/ cortical lesion. foot drop is not an uncommon presentation [one.wikia.com]
Symptoms may always be not present and may appear or worsen only with a footwear or activity. Proximal entrapments may present with frequent tripping due to foot drop. [boneandspine.com]

Respiratoric
- Aspiration
In addition, the high risk of recurrence of a ganglion following needle aspiration probably predicts less favourable outcomes. [file.scirp.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Joint Effusion
Previously undetected fractures can cause internal joint derangements, which in turn lead to joint effusions and sometimes large synovial cysts compressing periarticular tissues and nerves. [link.springer.com]
Neurologic
- Foot Drop
A drop foot splint, are often the first line of foot drop treatment by providing stabilization of the ankle and the foot. [bhagwati.in]
foot drop, because it supplies all of the foot and toe extensors; the patient cannot dorsiflex the foot and the toes will drag when the patient walks; there is sensory loss in the lateral aspect of the lower half of the leg and foot; painless foot drop [medschool.lsuhsc.edu]
Treatments for foot drop vary according to the cause. WebMD takes a look at the most common causes and treatments for foot drop. What Causes Foot Drop? Foot drop is a symptom of an underlying problem, rather than a disease itself. [webmd.com]
We aim to characterise the aetiologies of foot drop and assess the diagnostic contribution of neurophysiologic investigations in the assessment of foot drop. [imj.ie]

- Peripheral Neuropathy
Stroke, brain injury, incomplete spinal cord injuries, and peripheral neuropathies frequently result in dysfunction of the foot dorsiflexors and evertors. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

Peripheral Nerve Disorders Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. [icdlist.com]
Peroneal Nerve Dysfunction Peroneal nerve dysfunction is a type of peripheral neuropathy that is specific to the peroneal nerve. The peroneal nerve is branch of the sciatic nerve, which supplies movement and sensation to the lower extremities. [acsneuro.com]
- Steppage Gait
Subjects demonstrated a steppage gait during swing phase and increased inversion just prior to heelstrike (p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Our patient underwent several rehabilitation sessions, but his steppage gait persisted. Nerve grafting may eventually be conducted to address his steppage gait. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
On clinical examination, the patient walked with a high-steppage gait with inability to dorsiflex the right foot. There was no visible swelling in the knee or the leg. [file.scirp.org]
Functional prognosis for the limb following dislocation or bicruciate rupture depends not only on ligament healing but also on neurologic remission when there is total CPN palsy, as seen in a steppage gait and tibio-talar joint instability. [em-consulte.com]
Workup
Specific MR neurography sequences have shown their utility for evaluation of peripheral nerves and can be used for a more complete workup, at both 1.5 and 3 T [ 1 ]. [link.springer.com]
Serum
- Dyslipidemia
He had hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction for 7 years. His saphenous vein was not used as a graft. [saudija.org]
Treatment
Treatment options for nerve palsy include both operative and non-operative techniques. Initial treatment includes physical therapy and ankle-foot orthosis. [bhagwati.in]
We describe the physiopathology of the syndrome, its various etiologies, the treatment, and prevention of this complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the cases not responding to conservative treatments, satisfactory results are generally obtained by freeing of nerve at fibular head level. [scopemed.org]
Treatment for foot drop will depend on the cause. Early treatment may improve chances of recovery. Treatments may include: lightweight braces shoe inserts (orthotics) physical therapy surgery Lightweight braces are the most common treatment. [webmd.com]
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of TED in the treatment of LDH combined with common peroneal nerve paralysis. [dovepress.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis was uniformly good in the compression group; recovery was delayed but usually satisfactory in patients who had suffered stretch injuries. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Prognosis is especially poor as there is often associated rupture of the popliteal artery axis [ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ]. [em-consulte.com]
Introduction Foot drop is a simple term describing a complex symptom with a wide variety of aetiologies of which the clinical consequences may have a considerable range in severity, urgency and prognosis. [imj.ie]

The prognosis for patients with peroneal nerve dysfunction depends on the underlying cause. This condition is not normally life-threatening, but the pain can be uncomfortable. [acsneuro.com]
Etiology
We describe the physiopathology of the syndrome, its various etiologies, the treatment, and prevention of this complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathogenesis Etiology From blunt trauma to the lateral condyle of the femur. From fractures of the lateral condyle of the femur. By a kick or pressure to the lateral stifle. A tibial fracture. Anesthesia. [vetstream.com]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The peroneal nerve is a distal branch of the sciatic nerve. Injury to peroneal nerve leads to alterations in flexor muscles of the tarsus. Injury to peroneal nerve leads to alterations in extensor muscles of the digits. [vetstream.com]

The pathophysiology of ischemic injuries and nerve transection is axonal damage. When axonal damage occurs, recovery is slower and longer and may not be complete. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The pathophysiology involves hyperglycaemia-induced cell injury and oxidative stress 10. Up to 50% of diabetic patients will certainly develop neuropathy during their disease 11. [imj.ie]
