Case Report and Literature Review of Spinal Anesthesia-Related Peroneal Nerve Injury Complicated with Diabetic Foot Peripheral Neuropathy

Key Points

• To analyze the implications of spinal anesthesia on peroneal nerve injury, particularly in patients with diabetic foot peripheral neuropathy.
• Case report of a patient with peroneal nerve injury following spinal anesthesia.
• Literature review conducted on similar cases and related complications.
• Assessment of risk factors associated with nerve injury in diabetic patients.
• Identification of a direct correlation between spinal anesthesia and peroneal nerve injury in the patient.
• Literature review supports increased risk of nerve injury in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
