fibular nerve

Damage to the deep fibular nerve can result in foot drop.

It runs with the lateral terminal branch of deep fibular nerve.

Both muscles are innervated by the superficial fibular nerve.

The lateral compartment of the leg is supplied by the superficial fibular nerve.

Damage to the deep fibular nerve, as is possible with traumatic injury to the lateral knee, results in foot drop.

The short head of the biceps femoris is innervated by the fibular nerve.

Collectively the tibial and common fibular nerve makes up the general term sciatic nerve.

In the surgical treatment of fibular nerve compression, an incision is made over the neck of the fibula.

The lateral sural cutaneous nerve originates from the Common fibular nerve.

It is of note that the common fibular nerve also begins at the superior angle of the popliteal fossa.

Common fibular nerve (blue) - labeled as "peroneal nerve".

The deep fibular nerve is also subject to injury resulting from lower motor neuron disease, diabetes, ischemia, and infectious or inflammatory conditions.

Deep fibular nerve (green)

The sciatic nerve branches into the deep fibular nerve and the tibial nerve.

The most common cause is habitual leg crossing that compresses the common fibular nerve as it crosses around the head of fibula.

The sural nerve is joined by fibres from the common fibular nerve and runs down the calf to supply the lateral side of the foot.

The muscular branch eventually gives off the tibial nerve and common fibular nerve, which innervates the muscles of the (lower) leg.

As the common fibular nerve exits the popliteal fossa, it courses around the lateral aspect of the leg just below the head of the fibula.

In the leg, its branches communicate with those of the collateral branches off of the common tibial, and common fibular nerve.

The sural communicating branch of common fibular nerve is a nerve which gives rise to the sural nerve.

The fibular nerve continues down on the medial side of biceps femoris, winds around the fibular neck and enters the front of the lower leg.

Between its attachments to the head and to the body of the fibula there is a gap through which the common fibular nerve passes to the front of the leg.

Pain, paresthesias, and tenderness in both the ischemic muscles and the region supplied by the deep common fibular nerve are exhibited by patients suffering from this condition.

The sciatic nerve itself cannot technically innervate anything because it is merely the designation for the common sheath that encases the tibial and common fibular nerves.)

Nerve supply: lateral terminal branch of Deep Peroneal Nerve (deep fibular nerve) (proximal sciatic branches S1,S2).
