| Tibial Nerve | |
|---|---|
| Nerve Type | Mixed nerve |
| Origin | One of the two branches of the sciatic nerve in the lower third of the thigh. L4-S3. |
| Course | Through popliteal fossa, deep to gastrocnemius, and under the flexor retinaculum of the ankle. |
| Major Branches | Sural Nerve, Medial Plantar Nerve, Lateral Plantar Nerve, Medial Calcaneal Nerve |
| Sensory innervation | Articular branches to the joints of the knee, ankle, and foot. Cutaneous branches to the posterior calf and sole of the foot. |
| Motor innervation | Posterior Compartment of the Thigh, Posterior Compartment of the Leg, muscles of the sole of the foot |
