  • Title: Common peroneal nerve palsy in a UH-60 aviator.
    Author: McGrail MA.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1999 Jun; 164(6):446-7. PubMed ID: 10377717.
    Abstract:
    A case of common peroneal nerve palsy in a UH-60 Blackhawk U.S. Army helicopter pilot is reported. A review of the literature revealed several reports of common peroneal nerve palsy, although there were no published reports of this injury secondary to performing flight duties in the UH-60 cockpit. A common practice among Blackhawk pilots is to brace the "collective" with their left knee, subjecting the common peroneal nerve to possible injury. This action should be considered as a possible cause of common peroneal nerve palsy in this select group of aviators.
