Common fibular nerve
Injury to the common peroneal nerve
• The common fibular nerve may be
severed during fracture of the fibula
neck.
• Results in paralysis of all muscles in
the anterior and lateral compartments
of the leg.
• The loss of eversion of the foot and
dorsiflexion of the ankle causes footdrop.
• Foot-drop: the foot drops and the toes
drag of the floor when walking.
Popliteal fossa
PNS Throughout Life
• Dermatome – an area of skin
• Innervated by cutaneous branches of a single spinal nerve
• Embryonic muscles migrate to new locations
• Some skin dermatomes become displaced
• Muscles and skin always retain their original nerve supply

Innervation of the Skin: Dermatomes
• Upper limb – skin is supplied by nerves of the brachial
plexus
• Lower limb:
Lumbar nerves – anterior surface
Sacral nerves – posterior surface
Elsie (L.3 ) is trying to rescue her clumsy man Slim (SI) from a septic tank (SciaTIC nerve), using a rope and a balloon. He has
some GLUe (nerves to GLUteus muscles) on his leg. She is pregnant· is FEMale (FEMoral nerve) and has an OBstetric
condition (OBturator nerve).
