  • Evaluation of indications and optimal timing for surgical intervention.
  • Assessment of outcomes following primary nerve repair and secondary tendon transfers.

    • Main Results:

    • Microsurgical refinements have led to significantly improved outcomes for sciatic and peroneal nerve repairs.
    • Nerve conduction studies and established indications/timings enhance surgical success.
    • Tendon transfers, as secondary procedures or in combination with initial repair, augment functional results.
    • Current approaches make surgical repair a worthwhile option in most cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair of sciatic and peroneal nerve lesions is now highly effective due to technical advancements.
    • Optimized timing and diagnostic tools improve patient outcomes.
    • Future developments in basic science, bioengineering, and imaging hold promise for further advancements.
