Peroneal @entity2850 (PNEN) is one cause of @entity1183 and @entity158 in the lateral lower thigh and instep, and of motor weakness of the extensors of the toes and ankle. We report a less invasive surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia to treat PNEN and our preliminary outcomes. We treated 22 @entity1 (33 legs), 7 @entity1 and 15 @entity1 , whose average age was 66 years. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 40 months. All @entity1 complained of @entity158 or paresthesia of the lateral aspect of affected lower thigh and instep; all manifested a Tinel-like sign at the entrapment point. As all had undergone unsuccessful conservative treatment, we performed microsurgical decompression under local anesthesia. Of 19 @entity1 who had undergone lumbar spinal surgery (LSS), 9 suffered residual symptoms attributable to PNEN. While complete symptom abatement was obtained in the other 10 they later developed PNEN-induced new symptoms. Motor weakness of the extensors of the toes and ankle [manual muscle testing (MMT) 4/5] was observed preoperatively in 8 @entity1 ; it was relieved by microsurgical decompression. Based on self-assessments, all 22 @entity1 were satisfied with the results of surgery. PNEN should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis in @entity1 with @entity16 due to @entity179 , and as a causative factor of residual symptoms after LSS. PNEN can be successfully addressed by less-invasive surgery performed under local anesthesia.
