Entrapment of Sural Nerve in Essex-Lopresti Axial Fixation for Calcaneal Fracture: A Case Report / 대한족부족관절학회지

ABSTRACT

Injuries to sural nerve through surgical incision or open wound in calcaneal fractures were reported as complications causing lateral hindfoot pain. But sural nerve entrapment by adhesive fibrous tissue after Essex-Lopresti axial fixation has not been reported. We report a case of sural nerve entrapment after Essex-Lopresti axial fixation which was successfully treated by nerve decompression.
