Superficial peroneal to tibial nerve transfer for restoring plantar flexion in partial sciatic nerve injuries: illustrative case

Partial transfer of the superficial peroneal nerve to the lateral gastrocnemius branch of the tibial nerve offers a promising solution for restoring plantar flexion in partial sciatic nerve injuries affecting the tibial division. Tailored distal nerve transfers can enhance recovery, underscoring the importance of surgical innovation in treating complex peripheral nerve injuries. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24888.
