Entrapment of the Lower Limb - Andary

Pdf Summary

This document provides an overview of entrapment neuropathies in the lower limb, discussing factors influencing clinical presentation, focal demyelination as the main pathology, and the use of nerve conduction studies for diagnosis. Specific entrapment neuropathies of the peroneal nerve, posterior tibial nerve, medial and lateral plantar nerves, and calcaneal nerve are discussed, along with symptoms, diagnosis, and electrodiagnostic techniques for each. The document also covers interdigital neuropathy (Morton's neuroma), saphenous neuropathy, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve neuropathy (meralgia paresthetica), and highlights the use of nerve conduction studies for diagnosis in these conditions.
