“…However, up to 6% of normal limbs may have an unrecordable response using routine surface recording techniques. 2,5,6,9 In one report unilateral absence of the SPN SNAP was seen in 2 of 35 normal subjects. 9 In the present study paraspinal muscle denervation was seen on NEE in only 1 of the 3 patients with active intraspinal canal disease in whom paraspinal muscles were examined.…”

“…In addition, conduction of the lateral dorsal sural nerve,4 the medial plantar nerve, and other nerves have been recommended5,6 as useful. However, some researchers have reported that the superficial peroneal sensory nerve and its distal branches are more useful as diagnostic criteria of peripheral neuropathy than the sural nerve alone 7-9. Although many different techniques have been suggested for NCS of the superficial peroneal sensory nerve, most are conducted at the proximal part of the ankle 7,10,11.…”

ObjectiveTo perform nerve conduction studies of the four branches of the superficial peroneal nerves to determine normal values and anatomic variations in Koreans.MethodAntidromic sensory nerve conduction studies of the four distal branches were performed on 70 healthy subjects (100 feet). We applied electrical stimulation at the midpoint of medial and lateral malleoli for the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve (MDCN), and at the lateral 1/4 point between the medial and lateral malleoli for the 2 branches of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve (IDCN).ResultsReference values (mean±SD) of the onset/ peak latency (ms)/ sensory action potential amplitude (µV) for the two branches of the MDCN and for the first branch of the IDCN were 2.2±0.3/2.9±0.3/9.2±3.1, 2.2±0.3/2.8±0.3/9.1±3.0 and 2.3±0.4/2.9±0.3/8.5±2.8, respectively. For the second IDCN branch, the reference values were 2.3±0.4/3.0±0.4/7.1±2.6 but anomalous sural innervation was also found. Three types of IDCN innervations to the fourth interdigital web space were detected. In type I, the fourth interdigital webspace was innervated solely by the IDCN, whereas in type II, it was innervated by both the IDCN and distal sural nerve. In type III, it was solely innervated by the distal sural nerve.ConclusionThe results of this study show the reference values of the distal sensory branches of the superficial peroneal nerve, and provide information on the variant innervations to the fourth interdigital web space.

“…Accounts of its absence in some normal subjects have varied, and one report has claimed the ability to elicit a response in every case. 5 Its absence in some normal subjects has raised questions about the conduction reliability of the SPN for electrodiagnosis.…”

Superficial peroneal nerve conduction studies for electromyographic diagnosis

A new standardized surface technique for conduction studies of the superficial peroneal nerve was developed and applied to 35 normal subjects and 63 patients with peroneal mononeuropathies, lumbar radiculopathies, sciatic neuropathies, lumbosacral plexopathies, or peripheral neuropathies. The response amplitude was greater than 5 microV and the response peak latency was less than 4.1 msec in all normal subjects; however, 8.6% of normal subjects had at least one unelicitable superficial peroneal nerve response (6% of all limbs tested). These data were compared with those of previous studies. Although this technique did not improve the diagnosis of peroneal neuropathy, it did distinguish lumbosacral plexopathy and sciatic neuropathy from L5 radiculopathy and served as a second, easily approachable, sensory conduction study of the leg.
