摘要
Compression of the peroneal nerve is an uncommon complication of labor and delivery. We describe a case of common peroneal nerve injury associated with positioning the knees in hyperflexion during delivery. The pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical course, and possible prevention of this uncommon complication are discussed.
