Abstract

Traumatic neuropathies of the common peroneal nerve at the head of the fibula are relatively common, but nerve entrapment at this site is rarely encountered. A 55-year-old man with hemophilia A in whom common peroneal nerve entrapment occurred secondary to a probable muscle hematoma is described.
