Sonographic Evaluation of Superficial Peroneal Nerve …
2018年7月31日 · Ultrasound (US) is well suited to image this nerve, because high-frequency transducers are able to produce high-resolution imaging of small, superficial structures. Knowledge of the imaging technique and potential abnormalities affecting the SPN serves a significant clinical purpose in postinjury assessment and presurgical planning [6, 10, 11].
Ultrasound is considered an excellent imaging modality to evaluate the nerves of the limbs. The deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is one of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve. The DPN may be affected by various disorders, which may be clinically challenging to show.
Anatomic Study of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve Using Sonography
2012年11月23日 · The entire course of the superficial peroneal nerve could be identified using sonography. The level at which the superficial peroneal nerve emerges between the peroneus longus and extensor digitorum longus muscles and the level at which it pierces the crural fascia and becomes subcutaneous were found to be highly variable.
Ultrasound of the nerves of the knee region: Technique of …
2007年6月14日 · The superficial peroneal nerve runs along the lateral aspect of the fibula between the peroneal longus muscle and the anterior intermuscular septum. It innervates both peroneal muscles. At the midpoint of the leg, it perforates the crural fascia and enters the subcutaneous tissues.
Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of high-resolution sonography to accurately depict the common peroneal nerve width in cadavers and rabbits and have shown a statistically significant correlation between the electromyographic motor amplitude and peroneal nerve area, transverse breadth, and transverse length, as meas-ured by sonography...
Ultrasound Imaging of the Deep Peroneal Nerve - PubMed
The deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is one of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve. The DPN may be affected by various disorders, which may be clinically challenging to show. This Pictorial Essay reviews the normal ultrasound anatomy of the DPN and presents disorders that may involve the nerve and its main branches along its course ...
Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and MR imaging in peroneal …
2024年6月27日 · We aimed to describe MRI findings of the peroneal nerve in patients and healthy controls and to compare these results to US findings and clinical characteristics. We prospectively included patients with foot drop and electrodiagnostically confirmed peroneal neuropathy, and performed clinical follow-up, US and MRI of both peroneal nerves.
Sonographic evaluation of common peroneal neuropathy in

Ultrasound Visualization of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve in …
The nerve is visible as a hyper- or hypoechoic structure lying between peroneus brevis (PB) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) just deep to the crural fascia (dotted arrows, fig. A). The identity of the SPN can be confirmed by tracing it distally toward the ankle, and observing the nerve rise through the crural fascia into a subcutaneous ...
