Peroneal distal
Dear Colleagues
We have a question and would like help from Connect readers and Prof. Dumitru.
In a neuroconduction examination of the lower limb, we did not record compound muscle action potentials in the posterior tibial nerve and in the deep peroneal nerve when captured in the extensor digitorum brevis muscle, but in the latter, when we stimulated the medial malleolus, we obtained a response.
The question is: Was the answer obtained due to the presence of the accessory peroneal nerve or the posterior tibial nerve? Or another explanation?
Thanking you for your time and help.

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
