Torsional injury to the ankle resulting in fibular neuropathy affects the common fibular nerve as well as its terminal branches, specifically, the articular branch (original) (raw)

This correspondence presents findings that connect two previously described cohorts of patients with ankle torsional injuries resulting in fibular neuropathy. The research emphasized the role of the articular branch of the fibular nerve in these injuries by reanalyzing MRIs of patients with combined ankle injuries and fibular neuropathies, revealing significant changes in the articular branch and supporting a shared pathological mechanism. The implications deepen the understanding of fibular nerve injury mechanisms related to ankle trauma.
