A member asked:
What dr would determine if i need a peroneal nerve release surgery first or a total knee replacement followed by nerve release...dx for both already?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve Tx or Knee 1st: Your orthopedic surgeon will most likely want your peroneal nerve treated first. They don't want any other medical issues clouding the high success of your knee replacement.
