Abstract:
We report the importance of ultrasound in 5 cases of neuropathies caused by popliteal compression of the peroneal nerve. The ultrasound is helpful for the indication of operative decompression. The ultrasound is a proper diagnostic method if sciatica could not be excluded. Unfortunately, not every compression can be evaluated by this method alone.
