Abstract
Peroneal nerve entrapment is one of the less common causes of exercise-induced leg pain in competitive athletes. This type of lower extremity peripheral nerve dysfunction is usually associated with activities that subject the nerve to constant compression or repetitive trauma. Herein, we present our experience with 12 competitive athletes treated for peroneal nerve entrapment. Diagnostic electromyography results, intraoperative findings, and the results of cadaveric dissections are discussed.
