Following a motor collision, a man has difficulty walking. Examination reveals that he is unable to dorsiflex or plantar-flex his foot. You suspect a nerve injury. Your diagnosis is confirmed by a loss of sensation in which area?

A

Below the knee, lateral leg, lateral dorsum of foot, plantar aspect of foot.

43
