Abstract:
A case of complete transection of the posterior tibial nerve complicating a closed mid-shaft fracture of the tibia is reported. Early surgical exploration and repair resulted in return of function within 6 months. Such injuries are not common, but the case described highlights the importance of vigilance in assessment of all limb fractures.
