Common Peroneal Decompression

Common Peroneal Decompression is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Common peroneal nerve decompression is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure or compression on the common peroneal nerve, which is located in the lower leg and provides sensation and motor function to the foot and toes. Compression of the common peroneal nerve can occur due to various factors, such as trauma, repetitive stress, or anatomical abnormalities, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in the lower leg, ankle, or foot. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision along the course of the nerve, carefully identifies the compressed portion, and releases any surrounding structures or tissues that may be causing pressure on the nerve. This helps to alleviate symptoms and restore normal function to the nerve. Common peroneal nerve decompression is typically performed on an outpatient basis and is associated with minimal scarring, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Post-operative care may include a period of rest, protection of the leg, and physical therapy to promote nerve healing and rehabilitation.
