    – Innervate skin on the lower posterolateral aspect of the leg.
    Lateral calcaneal nerves.
  186. 186Saphenous nerve courseBranches from the femoral nerve in the anterior compartment of the thigh (largest and longest branch of the femoral nerve).
  187. 187part 2Courses with the femoral vessels in the femoral triangle and adductor canal
    does not pass through the adductor hiatus but rather courses along the medial aspect of the knee and pierces the deep fascia between the tendons of sartorius and gracilis
    it then courses distally with the great saphenous and medial marginal veins: it terminates near the medial malleolus by dividing into an anterior and posterior branch..
  188. 188branchesInfrapatellar branch
    Anterior branch
    Posterior branch
  189. 189Infrapatellar branch:Innervates the skin over the tibial
    tuberosity.
  190. 190Infrapatellar branchInnervates the skin over the tibial
    tuberosity
  191. 191Anterior branchInnervates skin on the dorsomedial aspect of the foot up to the first MTP.
  192. 192Posterior branchInnervates the skin around the medial malleolus.
  193. 193Dorsum of the foot innervated by:1. Medial terminal branch of the deep peroneal nerve (deep fibular nerve).
    2. Lateral terminal branch of the deep peroneal nerve (deep fibular nerve).
    3. Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve which is a branch of the superficial peroneal nerve (superficial fibular nerve).
  194. 194part 24. Intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve which is a branch of superficial peroneal nerve (superficial fibular nerve).
    5. Lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve which is
    a continuation of the sural nerve onto the foot.
    6. Saphenous nerve which is a branch of femoral nerve.
  195. 195Medial terminal branch coursefollows the course of the dorsalis pedis artery
    Becomes superficial as it pierces the deep fascia at the distal aspect of the first interspace
    It divides into two dorsal proper digital nerves for the adjacent side of the hallux and second toe.
  196. 196Anatomical note: The medial terminal branch communicates with the dorsal proper digital branch of the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve..
  197. 197Lateral terminal branchFollows the course of the lateral tarsal
    artery.
  198. 198innervatesthe extensor digitorum brevis.
  199. 199Superficial peroneal or superficial fibular nerve (musculocutaneous nerve) branches fromBranch of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve.
  200. 200innervatesthe lateral compartment of the leg.
