Abstract
We report the case of a 36-year-old male patient who sustained a hyper extension trauma of the left knee. After performing diagnostic arthros copy (partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament) and partial rese ction of the anterior cruciate ligament, the patient experienced a com plete paralysis of the peroneal nerve. One year after the first surgic al procedure, a reconstructive repair of the peroneal nerve and a tran sfer of the anterior tibial muscle was performed. This complication is reported for the first time in literature.
