Abstract

Wild boar-inflicted nerve injuries have been very rarely reported in the literature. A 62-year-old man was attacked by a wild boar in eastern Turkey and brought to the emergency department. He had 5 lacerations on the lower extremities and 2 on the posterior thoracic region. In addition to soft tissue lacerations, he sustained a complete laceration of the left common peroneal nerve with a foot drop. The common peroneal nerve was repaired primarily the day after the attack. The patient was discharged after a short hospital stay without any immediate complications; however, at the 10-mo follow-up, he still had a left foot drop.

野猪袭击造成的常见腓肠神经损伤

野猪造成的神经损伤在文献中鲜有报道。一名 62 岁的男子在土耳其东部遭到野猪袭击，被送到急诊科。他的下肢有 5 处撕裂伤，胸腔后部有 2 处撕裂伤。除软组织撕裂伤外，他的左侧腓总神经完全撕裂，足部下垂。腓总神经主要是在袭击后第二天修复的。患者经过短期住院治疗后出院，没有出现任何直接并发症；但在 10 个月的随访中，他的左脚仍然下垂。
