Ultrasound guided autologous platelet-rich plasma injection for the treatment of common peroneal nerve compression syndrome: a case report

Abstract

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided autologous platelet- rich plasma (PRP) injection for the treatment of common peroneal nerve compression syndrome, and to provide reference for the treatment of peripheral nerve compression diseases. Methods A patient with common peroneal nerve compression syndrome was treated with ultrasound-guided injection of autologous PRP for nerve water separation. The efficacy of PRP injection treatment on common peroneal nerve compression syndrome was evaluated by observing the patient′s symptoms, electrophysiological and imaging manifestations. Results After systematic injection therapy, the patient′s symptoms, signs and electromyography showed significant improvement, and there were no significant adverse reactions after 3 months of follow-up. Conclusion Ultrasound guided PRP injection therapy improves neurological dysfunction in common peroneal nerve compression syndrome.
