Some patients with severe peroneal nerve injuries may not be able to recover.
Whether the common peroneal nerve can be recovered after the injury is related to the degree of injury, if the common peroneal nerve is dissected, generally cannot be recovered or cannot be completely recovered, if it is the mild nerve damage caused by compression injury, traction injury, contusion, etc., after lifting the compression, early application of some nutritive nerve drugs with physical therapy and rehabilitation training is possible to recover.
When the fibular neck fracture or local sharp force injury, the fracture end or sharp force cuts the common peroneal nerve, resulting in transection of the common peroneal nerve, the recovery time will be significantly prolonged, and the nerve usually returns to normal after 12~24 months after reimplantation. Some patients will not recover or will not recover completely.
Common peroneal nerve injury needs to be treated actively, otherwise it will leave serious sequelae. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment and rehabilitation under the guidance of a doctor to better restore the function of the common peroneal nerve.
