"Deep peroneal nerve entrapment might be seen in athletes and people wearing tight shoes 1-3."
"Deep peroneal nerve entrapment or anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome was first described by HP Kopell and WA Thompson in 1960 2,6."
"Deep peroneal nerve entrapment or anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome was first described by HP Kopell and WA Thompson in 1960 2,6."
"The deep peroneal nerve supplies motor innervation to the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus tertius within the lower leg and extensor hallucis and digitorum brevis muscles at the superolateral aspect of the foot 1,5. Sensory fibres innervate the ankle joint, sinus tarsi the tarsal and second to fourth metatarsophalangeal joints as well as to the first web space 1. Depending on the location of the entrapment or injury this will lead to respective sensory and/or motor symptoms including pain, paraesthesia and weakness and possibly denervation changes. Whereas nerve compression above the anterior tarsal tunnel can lead to both motor and sensory symptoms 1 nerve compression within the anterior tarsal tunnel or distal to it typically causes pain and sensory deficits without significant motor loss 3."
"Entrapment or injury can happen at several sites above, within or distal to the anterior tarsal tunnel including 1-3:"
"Weight-bearing radiographs might show structural changes of the foot such as osteophytes 2,3 a high longitudinal arch, osteophytes or a tarsal coalition."
"space-occupying lesions (e.g. ganglion cysts, tumours, aneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery)"
