A Case of Peroneal Nerve Palsy Secondary to Fibular Head Osteochondroma

Osteochondroma of the proximal fibula is relatively common, but there are only rare reports of this lesion in conjunction with peroneal nerve palsy. We report here on a case of the peroneal nerve palsy secondary to fibular head osteochondroma, and the patient experienced complete recovery of function following the excision of the tumor and neurolysis of the peroneal nerve.
