Abstract

Numerous aetiopathologic factors have been enumerated as the possible causes of injuries to the common peroneal nerve at knee. This report presents a case of postero-lateral displacement of the upper end of fibula consequent to the displacement of fractured lateral tibial plateau leading to common peroneal nerve palsy which has not been reported before.
