The clinical and electrodiagnostic presentation of peroneal neuropathies are detailed in this article. There is a special emphasis on nerve conduction study findings and their relationship to prognosis and management. The differential diagnosis of foot drop, including when caused by the anterior compartmental syndrome of the leg, is also discussed.
