 AN OCCULT SCHWANNOMA OF THE DEEP PERONEAL NERVE
The common peroneal nerve and its branches innervate the muscles of dorsiflexion-inversion of the foot via the deep peroneal nerve, and the muscles of eversion-plantar flexion of the foot via a superficial peroneal nerve.
We present an interesting case of a schwannoma of the deep peroneal nerve in the middle of the anterior compartment of the leg presenting with neuralgia, which was construed as a case of sciatica due to a lumbar disc prolapse.
Peroneal nerve injuries vary from the reversible neuropraxic lesions seen with a prolonged cross-legged position (movie-house foot drop), to severe stretch avulsion injuries seen in association with ligamentous tears or fractures, or dislocations of the knee.

Peroneal tendonitis is simply the inflammation of the tendons connecting muscle to bone in and around the ankle and/or foot.
The key to avoiding problems such as peroneal tendonitis is to slowly increase the intensity of your exercise, vary the types of activities you perform, and try not to cycle between periods of activity and inactivity.

 Peroneal Tendon Injury   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Peroneal tendon injury is a relatively rare cause of ankle pain.
From trauma to the bone or soft tissues on the outside (lateral aspect) of the ankle, the peroneal tendons can subluxate (slip out of place) and cause pain and swelling along the lateral aspect of the ankle.
If the peroneal tendons continue to subluxate, surgery may is considered to repair the tendons back to their original location.

Traumatic dislocations of the peroneal tendons may be associated with disruption of the superior peroneal retinaculum, such as occurs after inversion at the ankle with the foot in a position of plantar flexion.
Ultrasonography, peroneal tenography and MR imaging can be used in the evaluation of inflammation of the peroneal tendons and sheath.
Stenosing tenosynovitis of the tendon sheath of the peroneal tendons may occur in three locations: posterior to the lateral malleolus, at the peroneal trochlea and at the plantar surface of the calcaneus.

 VascularWeb: The Distal Peroneal Artery. Is it an effective Outflow Source
Although the peroneal artery is the tibial vessel most spared of atherosclerosis, the amount of perfusion it provides the ischemic foot after bypass has been questioned.
Secondary patency for all peroneal bypasses was 73%, 65% and 60% at 3, 5, and 10 years and there was no significant difference between proximal and distal peroneal artery reconstruction.
The distal peroneal artery appears to be a durable outflow and may be useful in patients with limited conduit.

Acute injuries typically have 1 of 2 mechanisms as the cause: (1) inversion ankle injury, which is often seen with associated anterior talofibular ligament and/or calcaneofibular ligament disruption, and (2) a powerful contraction of the peroneal muscles with a forcefully dorsiflexed foot.
