Compression of the common peroneal nerve by intramuscular ganglion from the superior tibio-fibular joint

R D Muckart. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 1976 May.

Abstract

Eight patients had symptoms from ganglia arising from the superior tibio-fibular joint with physical signs that resembled the anterior tibial and peroneal compartment syndromes. Five ganglia were in the peroneus longus muscle in which they produced only an ill-defined firmness. Histologically the ganglia showed much cellular activity which must not be mistaken for malignant change.
