The common peroneal nerve, now called the common fibular nerve, is subject to chronic pressure or acute trauma where it courses laterally over the fibula at the knee.100 This nerve supplies sensory and sympathetic enervation to the lateral skin of the lower leg and dorsum of the foot as well as enervating several muscles of the lateral lower leg (Figure 11.27). Being both a sensory and motor nerve, the thermal picture may vary, with partial neuropathy always appearing cool, and complete neuropathy showing coolness over the paretic muscles and warmth from vasodilation down the lateral leg and dorsum of the foot.

Tensor fasciae suralis is typically innervated by a branch from the tibial nerve (Schaeffer 1913; Barry and Bothroyd 1924; Somayaji et al. 1998; Tubbs et al. 2006e; Arakawa et al. 2017). George et al. (2019) found innervation from the common fibular nerve.

The innervation of the muscles of the lower limb follows a clear pattern. In the statements below, identify the one that most accurately describes the anatomy of lower limb innervation?Sectioning the sciatic nerve at the apex of the popliteal fossa will denervate all muscles of the leg and posterior thigh.Sectioning the obturator nerve at the obturator foramen as it enters the thigh will prevent hip abduction.If the common fibular nerve is sectioned at the neck of fibula, there will be a weakness in ankle inversion and loss of ankle extension.If the posterior tibial nerve is sectioned, there will be a loss of active ankle flexion.Sectioning of the common fibular nerve in the popliteal fossa will cause problems, with popliteus being unable to unlock the extended knee.
Lateral ankle anatomical variants predisposing to peroneal tendon impingement

The PL arises from the head and upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the body of the fibula, from the deep surface of the fascia and from the intermuscular septa and occasionally also have few fibers from the lateral condyle of the tibia. Between its fibular head and body attachment, there is a gap, through which the common fibular nerve passes to the front of the leg. PL has a long tendon, which runs with the tendon of the PB in a common synovial sheath behind the lateral malleolus, in a canal covered by the superior and inferior peroneal retinaculum (SPR&IPR). Distally, the tendon extends obliquely transverse on the lateral side of the calcaneus, to be inserted into the lateral side of the base of the first metatarsal bone and the lateral side of the medial cuneiform. The PL main action is the plantar flexion of the foot, in conjunction with some help in eversion.5,3
Great toe drop following knee ligament reconstruction: A case report

Based on the data, the electromyographer’s impression was: The findings suggest an incomplete axonal loss injury of the left common fibular nerve involving only the fibers of the deep fibular nerve (specifically the branches to the extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum brevis). The patient is unable to elicit any motor units upon attempted contraction of the EHL or EDB. Suspect the injury is at or proximal to the fibular head. All other muscles innervated by the deep branch and superficial branch of the fibular nerve are normal. The tibial nerve is normal. I see no frank signs of lumbar radiculopathy (Dr. David Boyce).

Plasma concentrations of reldesemtiv increased with administration of higher dose levels. The highest levels were observed at the 3 h (± 30 min) post-dose time point at week 2 for all doses with geometric mean ± SE values of 1.05 ± 1.07 μg/mL, 2.4 ± 1.06 μg/mL, and 3.79 ± 1.07 μg/mL for reldesemtiv 150, 300, and 450 mg bid, respectively. Compared to a pharmacodynamic translational study in which the common fibular nerve was stimulated at varying frequencies in healthy participants and ankle dorsiflexion force was measured, all three dose levels reached concentrations active in that pharmacodynamic study (7).
