Superficial Peroneal Nerve
Abstract
The medial branch may be absent and may be replaced by the deep peroneal (anterior tibial) nerve. Deficiences in the lateral branch are satisfied by the sural nerve. The nerve has been described as arising from the nerve to peroneus brevis, and extending downward to supply a rare peroneus quartus (extensor digiti quinti brevis), after which it continued on the dorsum of the foot to furnish a nerve to extensor digitorum brevis (Bryce).
