Abstract
Background: To our knowledge, there have been no studies examining peroneal nerve decompression and proximal fibular osteochondroma excision exclusively in patients with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indications, complications, and recurrence associated with nerve decompression and proximal fibular osteochondroma excision in patients with MHE.
Methods: The records on patients with MHE undergoing peroneal nerve decompression from 2009 to 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Indications, clinical status, surgical technique, recurrence, and complications were recorded and were analyzed using the Fisher exact test, logistic regression, and the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results: There were 126 limbs identified in patients with MHE who underwent peroneal nerve decompression. The most common indications were pain over the proximal fibula, tibialis anterior and/or extensor hallucis longus weakness, and dysesthesias and/or neuropathic pain. Seven cases experienced postoperative foot drop as a complication of the decompression and osteochondroma excision. Logistic regression found significant relationships between complications and excision of anterior osteochondromas (odds ratio [OR], 5.21; p = 0.0062), proximal fibular excision (OR, 14.73; p = 0.0051), and previous decompression (OR, 5.77; p = 0.0124). The recurrence rate was 13.8%, and all recurrences occurred in patients who were skeletally immature at the index procedure. The probability of skeletally immature patients not experiencing recurrence was 88% at 3 years postoperatively and 73% at 6 years postoperatively.
Conclusions: Indications for peroneal nerve decompression included neurologic symptoms and pain. The odds of a complication increased with excision of anterior osteochondromas and previous decompression. Recurrence of symptoms following decompression and osteochondroma excision was found exclusively in skeletally immature patients.
Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level III . See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
