What are the signs of recovery of the common peroneal nerve

Common peroneal nerve injury should pay attention to scientific and effective treatment and recovery methods. Generally speaking, if it has not recovered within three months, it means that it has lost the ability to repair and recover itself. Therefore, it is also necessary to pay attention to timely take some more effective treatment measures according to your condition. The dialectical treatment of Chinese and Western medicine is now a more effective treatment method.

1. If there is no recovery within three months, the body will lose its own repair ability. If it is not treated properly, there will be no hope of recovery after one and a half years. The main symptoms of severe total nerve damage are foot drop and local numbness on the outside of the calf. If the disease lasts too long, it will cause ischemic calf muscle atrophy, which is the beginning of disability. If the condition is not treated correctly during treatment, the nerve will atrophy and soften due to ischemia. At this time, even nerve transplantation or tendon transplantation may not restore its function to the best possible level. Therefore, the disability rate is extremely high, and the key to whether treatment can be resumed lies in the early stage. Without providing information, we can only provide you with theoretical treatment plans.

2. Combined Chinese and Western medicine dialectical treatment can enhance and improve the local blood circulation of injured nerves, prevent secondary adhesion or degeneration of affected nerves, and use nerve regeneration drugs to stimulate and activate the nerves after surgery to restore nerve function so as to control the foot and ankle function and achieve early recovery. Because patients with foot drop need professionally designed shoes to protect the ankle joint and prevent bone wear and deformity during exercise. If you need help please send me your EMG and medical records for your guidance.

3. After tibial nerve injury, the posterior calf muscles are weak in contraction, which mainly manifests as inability to plantar flex the foot, inability to stand on tiptoes, and weakened inversion force. At the same time, there is sensory disturbance in the plantar skin. Due to the dysfunction of the posterior calf muscles and their weak contraction, the anterior and lateral calf muscles are over-stretched, causing the foot to be dorsiflexed and everted, resulting in the so-called "hook foot" deformity.

4. After the common peroneal nerve is injured, due to the loss of function of the anterior and lateral calf muscles, the foot cannot dorsiflex, the toes cannot be extended, the foot drops and is turned inward, presenting a "clubfoot" deformity, and a "threshold-crossing gait" when walking. At the same time, obvious sensory disturbances occur in the anterior and lateral sides of the calf and the dorsum of the foot.

5. If two nerves are damaged at the same time, the deformity of the body may not be obvious, but the muscles will have difficulty moving and will appear limp. At the same time, sensory impairment occurs in the lower legs and feet. Of course, the above description only applies to typical nerve damage. If your symptoms do not match the above, it is normal.
