Abstract EN

A multiple-ligament knee injury that includes posterolateral corner (PLC) disruption often causes palsy of the common peroneal nerve (CPN), which occurs in 44% of cases with PLC injury and biceps femoris tendon rupture or avulsion of the fibular head.

Approximately half of these cases do not show functional recovery.

This case report aims to present a criteria-based approach to the operation and postoperative management of CPN palsy that resulted from a multiple-ligament knee injury in a 22-year-old man that occurred during judo.

We performed a two-staged surgery.

The first stage was to repair the injuries to the PLC and biceps femoris.

The second stage involved anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The outcomes were excellent, with a stable knee, excellent range of motion, and improvement in the palsy.

The patient was able to return to judo competition 27 weeks after the injury.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing a return to sports following CPN palsy with multiple-ligament knee injury.
