Deep Peroneal Nerve
First a brief about Common Peroneal Nerve
Two sensory branches
1. Lateral Sural Cutaneous Nerve
skin over lateral aspect of knee and proximal third calf
2. Branch that joins tibial anastomotic branch to form surnal nerve
skin over posterolateral aspect of calf and over lateral malleolus , lateral aspect of foot , over 4th
and 5th toes
Motor Supply
1. Superficial Peroneal Nerve
Motor ; Peroneus Longus and Brevis
Sensory; Anterior and Lateral aspect of leg and dorsum of foot
2. Deep Peroneal Nerve
Motor; Anterior Tibialis , Extensor Digitorum longus , EHL , Peroneus Tertius , Ist dorsal
interosseus
( Sensory; Ist web space via digital cutaneous nerve (lateral aspect of dorsum of great toe and
medial aspect of 2nd toe )
Treatment
1.Splint
2. ROM Exercises
3. Repair - 60 - 70 % patients recover motor function .
(nerve repair techniques already discussed in previous section . )
4. Tendon Transfer
Split Tibialis Posterior tendon
