An evidence-based algorithm for the management of common peroneal nerve injury associated with traumatic knee dislocation. Issue 10 (25th October 2016) - Samson, Deepak
Abstract : Traumatic knee dislocation is a complex ligamentous injury that may be associated with simultaneous vascular and neurological injury. Although orthopaedic surgeons may consider CPN exploration at the time of ligament reconstruction, there is no standardised approach to the management of this complex and debilitating complication. This review focusses on published evidence of the outcomes of common peroneal nerve (CPN) injuries associated with knee dislocation, and proposes an algorithm for the management.
