Abstract

Sural nerve is a sensory nerve that innervates the lateral side of ankle and foot, and the injury of this nerve can be usually caused by surgical approch of calaneal fracture or achilles tendon injury. Entrapment neuropahty of sural nerve caused by bony fragment after calcaneal fracture is not reported, yet. Authors experienced one case that sural nerve injury due to bony fragment after calcaneal fracture and we regard that it is a rare case, so we report this case after reviewing literatures.
