Common peroneal nerve palsy occurs as a result of compression of the fibular head and has been reported in adults as a complication of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC), but not in children. In this report, we present two cases of common peroneal nerve palsy. The first occurred in a 13-year-old girl with sepsis and the second in a 12-year-old boy who underwent vocal cord fixation. In both cases, we suspected the involvement of the IPC performed to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pediatric intensive care unit admission. It is crucial to ensure proper sizing and fitting of the IPC devices to avoid covering the fibular head and apply appropriate decompression. Moreover, recognizing risk factors, such as body position and thinness, is essential for understanding the onset of common peroneal nerve palsy.

Physical exercise is recommended to improve tibia strength, a common site for stress injuries, while identifying optimal training regimens remains a significant challenge. This study investigated tibial responses to varied exercise regimens using a subject-specific computational modeling approach. A subject-specific neuro-musculoskeletal model was combined with a finite element model to assess the effects of various exercises (jumping, landing, squatting, and walking) on tibial strain energy density (SED), as well as the impact of adjustable leg weights placed at different sites (shank versus thigh).

Purpose: Peripheral nerve compression syndromes are a common cause of pain, weakness, and functional limitations, yet they often remain underdiagnosed due to the limitations of traditional diagnostic methods such as electromyography and imaging. This article describes the clinical triad-manual muscle testing (MMT), sensory-collapse testing (SCT), and pain evaluation-as a structured, integrative approach to improving the diagnosis of nerve compressions.
Methods: This narrative review examines the anatomical basis and diagnostic application of the clinical triad across common peripheral nerve compression syndromes.

Background: Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries are one of the leading causes of disability in young individuals. This study aims to evaluate cases of traumatic peripheral nerve injury from a forensic medical perspective and to identify their characteristic features.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 6,953 cases who presented to the Forensic Medicine Clinic of Gülhane Training and Research Hospital between September 1, 2016 and June 31, 2023.
Identifying Risk Zones for Neurovascular Injury in Pediatric All-Inside Arthroscopic Lateral Meniscal Repair.

Background: All-inside techniques for meniscal repairs offer comparable outcomes and healing rates with reduced operative time and fewer incisions; however, iatrogenic neurovascular injuries during arthroscopic meniscal repairs are a significant concern.
Purpose: To identify the zones of risk and incidence of injury concerning the common peroneal nerve (CPN) and popliteal artery in relation to the popliteal tendon (PT) from the anterolateral (AL) and anteromedial (AM) portals during a simulated all-inside technique in the pediatric population.
Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study.
