Presentation
We present a case of common peroneal nerve palsy secondary to an intraneural ganglion cyst occurring in a 74-year-old female. The patient presented with a 5-month history of pain in the right common peroneal nerve distribution and foot drop. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Presentation Foot drop post trauma to the knee with surgical repair Patient Data Age: 40 Gender: Male Loading images... [radiopaedia.org]
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]
In the present series, only one patient presented with dislocation of the knee associated with a displaced lateral condyle fracture: during open fixation, the CPN was found to be continuous and no anatomic factor underlying the paralysis could be determined [em-consulte.com]

- Hypotension
Considering there was no use of CPB, no event of suspected hypoxia due to hypotension or decreased perfusion, there seems to be little possibility that position or the characteristic of surgery caused palsy. [saudija.org]

- 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]
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]
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]
Abstract Intraneural ganglion cysts, which occur within the common peroneal nerve, are a rare cause of foot drop. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]

- 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]
- Sciatica

- Paresis
Neurological examination revealed paresis of the tibialis anterior, lateral peroneal, and extensor digitorum muscles with a muscle strength grade of 2. [healio.com]
Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment of a suspicious case after confirmation tests is important; several reports emphasize the importance of early diagnosis which has implications on complete recovery of the paresis [13] [23] [24]. [file.scirp.org]
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]
Treatment
Acute laceration: nerve repair Initial treatment: ankle-foot-orthosis Chronic peroneal nerve palsy / foot drop: transfer of the tibialis posterior to the dorsum of the foot. [eorif.com]
We describe the physiopathology of the syndrome, its various etiologies, the treatment, and prevention of this complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient should be quickly and clearly informed of this and palliative treatment proposed. [em-consulte.com]
Treatment options for nerve palsy include both operative and non-operative techniques. Initial treatment includes physical therapy and ankle-foot orthosis. [bhagwati.in]
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]
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]
