What is peroneal nerve compression?
Fibular nerve compression occurs due to compression of the surrounding tissues because this nerve passes in close contact with the fibula bone. The patient can develop this condition without any related accident. You may notice loss of strength (when you start stumbling) and loss of sensation in the lateral region of the leg and upper part of the foot. When trying to walk, it is necessary to shift the hip and lift the leg so that the foot does not drag on the ground.
Quais são os sintomas da Compressão do nervo fibular?
A patient who has a ruptured or compressed fibular nerve after an accident or surgery experiences:
- Numbness or tingling in the foot and leg.
- O pé arrasta ao caminhar.
- Tropeça devido ao pé caído.
- Fraqueza para levantar o pé ou dedão.
Quais as causas da Compressão do nervo fibular(pé caído)?
The main causes of peroneal nerve compression are related to rapid weight loss and prolonged ICU stays. In addition, traumatic factors such as knee dislocation, knee or leg fracture, knee or hip replacement surgery, and peroneal nerve compression by a nerve sheath tumor or cysts can also be present.

Tratamento para Compressão do nervo fibular?
Treatment for peroneal nerve compression varies depending on the cause and the degree of complexity and severity of the pathology. In cases of low complexity, conservative treatment is sufficient to manage symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life.
