Peroneal Nerve Release

Peroneal nerve release may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

• Persistent pain or discomfort on the outer side of the knee or lower leg
• Tingling or numbness in the leg, foot, or toes
• Weakness in the muscles that lift the foot (foot drop)
• Symptoms that do not respond to conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or injections
• Peroneal nerve entrapment due to trauma, repetitive stress, or anatomical abnormalities

Peroneal nerve release is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision near the knee to access the peroneal nerve. The surrounding tissues are carefully dissected to identify and release any structures compressing the nerve.

The surgery aims to relieve pressure on the peroneal nerve, allowing it to function properly and reduce symptoms. Once the nerve is decompressed, the incision is closed with sutures or surgical tape, and a dressing is applied to protect the area.
