Peripheral Nerve Entrapment Syndromes of the Lower Extremity

Patients affected by peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes generally complain of paresthesias, pain, and/or motor weakness in the territory supplied by the involved nerve. Clinical manifestations can be divided into three stages [8]: 1. Stage I: Rest pain and intermittent paresthesias that are worse at night. 2. Stage II: Constant paresthesias and numbness that can occasionally be associated with muscle weakness. 3. Stage III: Constant pain, muscle atrophy, and permanent sensory loss.
