  • Title: Selective deep peroneal nerve injury associated with arthroscopic knee surgery.
    Author: Esselman PC, Tomski MA, Robinson LR, Zisfein J, Marks SJ.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 1993 Nov; 16(11):1188-92. PubMed ID: 8413371.
    Abstract:
    We report 3 cases of isolated deep peroneal nerve injury as a complication of arthroscopic knee surgery. At the level of the knee joint, the deep and superficial peroneal nerves are usually joined as the common peroneal nerve. However, because of the fascicular structure, a partial nerve injury can result in an isolated injury to the deep peroneal nerve fibers. Due to the intraneural topography of the peroneal nerve, electrodiagnostic studies in a partial nerve injury may erroneously indicate a more distal lesion.
