Adduction Injury of the Knee with Rupture of the Common Peroneal Nerve
Report of a Case
Max M. Novich M.D.1
1 Newark, New Jersey
A case is reported of a young male athlete with an injury to the lateral collateral ligament of the knee which also involved the common peroneal nerve.
It appears that this injury occurs very rarely, and therefore attention is directed to the clinical signs and symptoms which facilitate diagnosis of this condition.
