Abstract
1. A series of six traction lesions of the common peroneal nerve in association with a severe adduction force to knee is described.
2. The reasons for failure of the nerve repair are discussed.
3. A new system of radiological marking of the anastomosis is described.
4. A less pessimistic view of the prognosis is taken than heretofore, and the management of the injury is discussed with a recommendation that a more conservative resection be done three months after the injury.
