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.

2024年3月30日 · 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.

2023年10月30日 · 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 (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.

2025年1月22日 · The common fibular nerve, also known as the common peroneal nerve, is a major peripheral nerve of the lower limb. Below is a detailed description of its anatomical course, branches, and important anatomical relations.

The common fibular nerve follows the medial border of the biceps femoris, running in a lateral and inferior direction, over the lateral head of the gastrocnemius. At this point, the nerve gives rise to two cutaneous branches, which contribute to the innervation of the skin of the leg.

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.
