Fibular Neck Decompression

Surgery may be considered after specialist evaluation when peroneal nerve entrapment causes persistent numbness, pain, or foot drop, and conservative treatments (rest, bracing, physical therapy, etc.) are ineffective, or when imaging/electrophysiology indicates significant conduction restriction. The decision considers factors such as etiology (cysts, bony stenosis, etc.), symptom progression, prior treatment response, and overall health.
