Peroneal nerve entrapment occurs when there is injury or compression of the nerve, usually at the region of the fibula head on the outside of the knee.
Main symptoms include burning and tingling on the outside and front section of the shin and top of the foot which worsens with walking or squatting. Other symptoms include tenderness upon palpation of the outside of the knee, walking abnormalities due to muscle weakness such as toe dragging, inability to lift foot up when walking and making a slapping sound when walking due to foot hitting the ground too quickly.
