Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the risks of peroneal nerve injuries during the surgical removal of osteochondromas in the proximal fibula, noting a complication rate of 3%-20%.
- A total of 29 patients underwent the procedure between 1994 and 2018, utilizing intraoperative neuromonitoring to detect nerve issues, with alerts occurring in about 34.5% of surgeries.
- Post-surgery, only 6.9% experienced mild sensory deficits, which were resolved by follow-up, and all patients saw improvements in pain and neurological deficits, indicating that neuromonitoring effectively aided in preventing serious nerve injuries.
