Peroneal Nerve Palsy is a condition that occurs when the peroneal nerve, which runs along the outer side of the knee, becomes damaged or compressed. This nerve is responsible for controlling the muscles that lift the foot and toes. As a result, individuals may experience weakness or difficulty in lifting the foot, leading to a condition known as foot drop. Common causes of peroneal nerve palsy include trauma, prolonged pressure on the nerve, or conditions like diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, or pain along the outer leg and foot. Treatment often involves physical therapy, bracing, or addressing the underlying cause of the nerve damage.
