The effects of peroneal neurectomy at different nerve levels in the dog and cat are described. The resultant limb paralyses were considerably improved by the application of a muscle relocation technique, transferring either the long digital flexor or caudal tibial muscle. The results of combined peroneal and tibial neurectomy as well as nerve root sectioning (L6, L7) are also described.
