Anatomy

Deep fibular nerve

A thin pale yellow peripheral nerve shown without surrounding tissues. It appears as a slender, smooth, subtly flattened tubular structure, narrower than major leg nerves such as the tibial nerve and deeper-appearing than a superficial cutaneous nerve. The nerve has minimal proximal branching, with one end slightly thicker proximally and tapering distally. At the distal end, especially on the dorsum of the foot, it divides into fine terminal twigs, including two small digital branches near the toes. Delicate fascicular texture may be visible, consistent with a motor nerve of the anterior leg.
