The common fibular nerve (also known as the common peroneal nerve, external popliteal nerve, or lateral popliteal nerve) is a nerve in the lower leg that provides sensation over the posterolateral part of the leg and the knee joint.
The common fibular nerve is a mixed nerve that carries motor and sensory fibers for the innervation of the muscles and skin of the leg and foot. Additionally, it provides the articular branches that innervate the ankle joint, tarsal and metatarsophalangeal joints.
The common fibular nerve is a peripheral nerve of the lower limb. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the common fibular nerve – its anatomical course, functions and clinical correlations.
The common fibular (peroneal) nerve gives articular branches to the knee and superior tibiofibular joint. The lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf supplies the posterolateral side of the proximal two-thirds of the leg.
The common peroneal nerve is a major nerve that innervates the lower extremity. There are numerous traumatic and nontraumatic causes of peroneal nerve injuries. These include knee dislocation, direct impact or cut on the fibular neck, and proximal fibula fracture.
The common peroneal nerve, also called the common fibular nerve, is a peripheral nerve that branches off from the sciatic nerve. It and its branches supply sensation and some motor function to the lower leg and top of the foot.
The common fibular nerve is a mixed nerve that provides both motor and sensory functions in the lower leg and foot. These functions are executed primarily through its terminal branches, the superficial fibular nerve and deep fibular nerve. Below is a detailed breakdown of its functions.
The common peroneal nerve, or the common fibular nerve, is a major nerve that innervates the lower extremity (see Image. The Sacral and Coccygeal Nerves). As 1 of the 2 major branches of the sciatic nerve, it receives fibers from the posterior divisions of L4 through S2.
The common peroneal nerve, also known as the common fibular nerve, is one of the major nerves of the leg and foot. It provides innervation to the skin of the lateral and leg, the top of the foot, and to many leg muscles.
The common fibular nerve gives rise to the lateral sural cutaneous nerve and sural communicating branch as it passes through the popliteal fossa. It also supplies the knee joint via a recurrent articular branch. Its terminal branches are the superficial and deep fibular nerves.
