Common Peroneal Nerve | |
---|---|
Synonym | Common fibular nerve |
Nerve Type | Mixed nerve |
Origin | One of the two branches of the sciatic nerve, L4-S2 |
Course | To the lateral compartment of the leg |
Major Branches | Deep Peroneal Nerve, Superficial Peroneal Nerve |
Motor innervation | Short head of biceps femoris |
Conditions | Cutaneous innervation of the posterolateral leg |
The common peroneal nerve, also known as the common fibular nerve, forms the lateral part of the sciatic nerve.
Lesion Effect
A high lesion results in
- Loss of extension of toes and foot (foot drop)
- Loss of sensation of the lateral lower leg and upper foot
