The proximal long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) has been recognized as a wellknown cause of anterior shoulder pain. Previous studies have identified a heterogeneous distribution of nerve fibers in the tendon, with a higher abundance of fibers in the proximal and distal thirds of the tendon.

A 13-year-old female cheerleader presented with common peroneal neuropathy secondary to repetitive direct blow contusion injuries to the lateral leg, sustained during her role as a flyer in cheerleading. Symptoms resolved when removed from cheerleading activities. Nerve conduction velocity and needle electromyography electrodiagnostic test studies performed at presentation and during treatment confirmed improvement of the neuropathy. The use of a protective knee brace that provided cushion near the fibular head prevented recurrence after returning to cheerleading. An association between common peroneal neuropathy and cheerleading has not been documented in previous literature. Awareness of this association will help with diagnosis and prevention of injuries.
