Overview
Tibial neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the tibial nerve, a major nerve in the lower leg. This can result in sensory and motor deficits in the foot and ankle.Diagnosis
No diagnostic criteria or recommended tests are mentioned in the provided abstracts.Management
Reinforcement of the proximal tibia with autogeneic bone grafts can preserve subchondral bone for optimal cement thickness and implant fixation in primary total knee arthroplasty 1.
Bone grafting may reduce the need for custom implants and prevent fragmentation of methylmethacrylate and implant failure 1.Special Populations
No information is provided on special populations.Key Recommendations
Reinforce the proximal tibia with autogeneic bone grafts in primary total knee arthroplasty to preserve subchondral bone for implant fixation 1. (Evidence: Moderate)
Consider autogeneic bone grafting to reduce the need for custom implants and prevent complications related to methylmethacrylate and implant failure in primary total knee arthroplasty 1. (Evidence: Moderate)References
