Question 7 of 20Tutor⚑ Mark

Electrodiagnostic Medicine

A 57-year-old man develops a right foot drop after losing 25 lb. Ankle dorsiflexion and eversion are weak; inversion is preserved. Which lesion best explains the findings?

A
L5 radiculopathy
B
Common fibular neuropathy at the fibular head
Correct
C
Deep fibular neuropathy at the ankle
D
Sciatic neuropathy, gluteal region

Correct

Weak eversion with preserved inversion separates a common fibular lesion from L5: tibialis posterior is L5 through the tibial nerve, so a root lesion would weaken inversion too.

Educational objective

Use muscles from different peripheral nerves to separate a nerve lesion from a root lesion.
