Case Reports[Anatomical considerations on treatment strategies for compression syndromes of the fibular nerve in the proximal leg].
Posttraumatic or iatrogen compression syndromes of the common fibular nerve (CFN) are frequent. Based on previous anatomical investigations the aim of this study was to analyse the course of the CFN along the proximal portion of the leg with respect to its relationship to the anterior intermuscular septum (AIS). Further sites of constriction or fibrous fixation should be defined. ⋯ We conclude, that selective decompression not only of the CFN, but of the DFN branches which are fixed in the AIS along their course through the proximal portion of the leg, is mandatory during compression syndromes of the CFN.
