Communications between the superficial and deep fibular nerves in the foot: An anatomical and electrophysiological study.

Introduction: The deep fibular sensory nerve can be recorded to evaluate for peripheral nerve injury; however, it can be challenging in some individuals. Anatomic variation could account for some of this difficulty. Cadaver dissection and electrophysiological testing were used to characterize deep and superficial fibular sensory nerve supply to the foot.
