Abstract
This clinical note describes a 47-year-old man who had a traumatic amputation of the left lower leg. Two months after wearing a Kondylen Bettung Münster (KMB) prosthesis, he developed a compression neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve of this right leg after sitting cross-legged. This troublesome complication can be avoided by giving accurate information to the patient.
