Primary Repair of Peroneus Longus Myofascial Herniation With Symptomatic Superficial Peroneal Nerve Compression

Symptomatic myofascial herniations of the extremities occur infrequently; however, they can contribute to significant pain, weakness, and neuropathy with activity. Muscle herniation typically occurs through either a traumatic or congenital focal defect in the deep overlying fascia. Patients may pres...

Description
Summary:Symptomatic myofascial herniations of the extremities occur infrequently; however, they can contribute to significant pain, weakness, and neuropathy with activity. Muscle herniation typically occurs through either a traumatic or congenital focal defect in the deep overlying fascia. Patients may present with an intermittently palpable subcutaneous mass and may have neuropathic symptoms, depending on the degree of nerve involvement. Patients are initially treated with conservative modalities, whereas surgery is reserved for patients who demonstrate persistent functional limitations and neurologic symptoms. Here, we demonstrate a technique for primary repair of a symptomatic lower-leg fascial defect. [Display omitted]
