Common peroneal nerve injury can be treated through surgical, pharmacological, and physical therapies. A series of neurotrophic medications may be administered to support nerve recovery. Functional training should be implemented and monitored to prevent disuse complications following nerve injury. If the injury is caused by laceration or fracture, appropriate fracture management and rehabilitation, along with neurotrophic treatment, should be performed. Local physical therapy and functional exercises can help maintain and restore joint and muscle function. Additionally, appropriate exercise is recommended to prevent joint stiffness.
