Abstract:
Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries to the lower extremity. Most of them well respond to conservative treatments. However, simultaneous peroneal nerve injuries may occur rarely following lateral ankle ligamentous injuries. We report a case presents superficial peroneal nerve injury with dorsal foot pain lasting for more than 2 months after lateral ankle sprain and review the literature.
