common fibular nerve course
from sciatic nerve, passes popliteal fossa and then winds around the neck of fibuladivides into deep and superficial fibular nervesin the popliteal fossa, gives off cutaneous branches including the sural commnunicating branch
superficial fibular nerve supply
lateral leg - fibularis longus and brevis
skin of the dorsum of the foot except for the first interdigital cleft
deep fibular nerve supply
anterior leg and dorsum of foot
accompanied by the anterior tibial artery in the legfoot: supply the only muscle there - extensor digitorum brevis, as well as the skin of the interdigital cleft and foot joints
popliteal artery course
continuation of the femoral artery
runs through the popliteal fossa
divides into anterior and posterior tibial artery
also gives off branches in the popliteal fossa, including the genicular arteries (supply the knee joint, forms an anastomoses)
anterior tibial artery course
enters the anterior compartment, runs downwards towards a point between the two malleoli, ends and becomes the dorsalis pedis
anterior tibial artery supply
anterior leg
dorsalis pedis artery suply
dorsum of the foot, pulse can be felt
posterior leg superficial fascia contents
sural nerve and small saphenous vein

Popliteus function
unlocks knee joint (laterally rotates femur on fixed tibia)
flexor hallucis longus function
flexion of big toe
flexor digitorum longus function
flexion of lateral four toes
tibialis posterior function
inversion and plantar flexion of foot
Plantar aponeurosis functions
fixes the skin at the sole
protects deep structures
helps to maintain the longitudinal arches of the foot
Muscles of the sole of the foot fxn

Tibial nerve components
L4 5 S1 2 3
tibial nerve course
Terminal branch of sciatic
situated in the middle of the popliteal fossaenters the back of hte leg, passes deep down to the soleus muscle to the back of the medial malleolusthen divides into medial and lateral plantar nerves
tibial nerve supply
posterior leg muscles + ankle joint
posterior leg arterial supply
posterior tibial artery
Posterior tibial artery course
one of the terminal branches of the popliteal arterylocated between the superficial and deep muscles
passes behind the medial malleolus to enter the solethen divides into medial and lateral plantar arteries
also branches off to fibular artery
posterior tibial artery supply
posterior compartment of the leg
and lateral via fibular artery
Lateral plantar nerve supply
skin of the lateral 1.5 toessome muscles
Medial plantar nerve supply
skin of the medial 3.5 toessome muscles
plantar arch
arterial arch in the sole of the foot
continuation of the lateral plantar artery
