Patient outcome after common peroneal nerve decompression.

Object: This study examines common peroneal nerve decompression and its effect on nerve function.

Methods: Fifty-one peroneal nerve decompressions were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively for motor and sensory function of the peroneal nerve as well as for pain.

Distal anterior interosseous nerve in the recurrent motor branch graft for reconstruction of a median nerve neuroma-in-continuity.

Median nerves with neuromas-in-continuity are preferably managed by the identification and preservation of the functioning motor fascicles proximal and distal to the neuroma. The non-functioning, painful sensory fibers are divided proximally and distally and are reconstructed with nerve grafts. In cases where the proximal motor fascicle may not be safely and effectively isolated because of scarring or previous surgical intervention, the distal anterior interosseous nerve (dAIN) may be grafted to the recurrent motor branch of the median (RMB) nerve distal to the neuroma.
