Eight patients were male and the average age at operation was 28.2 years old (range 21\u201339). All nine patients experienced high\u2010energy CPN injuries. The average time to operation was 5.8 months (range 1\u201310) and all patients scored M0 for ankle dorsiflexion preoperatively according to the Medical Research Council (MRC) grading system.

No complications were recorded during the procedures, nor were any compromises to the tibial nerve donor site during follow\u2010up.
