Internal Neurolysis of the Common Peroneal Nerve With Lower Extremity Flexion Increases Likelihood for Direct End-End Nerve Repairs

Abstract

Both formaldehyde-and salt-perfused cadavers have a significant difference in nerve length obtained after neurolysis at each angle of measurement. This is seen for both dissection groups with p-values <0.05. Conclusions In this study, we found a direct statistically significant relationship between extent of neurolysis and increased angle of measurement, to amount of addition nerve length obtained in both neurolysis groups despite fixation type.
