Objective To determine if MR neurography of the common peroneal nerve (CPN) predicts a residual motor deficit at 12-month clinical follow-up in patients presenting with foot drop. Materials and methods A retrospective search for MR neurography cases evaluating the CPN at the knee was performed. Pati...
