Surgical anatomy and safe zones of the superficial peroneal branch of the peroneal nerve in the ankle

Abstract

Superficial peroneal branch of the peroneal nerve was evaluated by dissecting in the 28 ankle of 14 cadaver.In these dissections,we have found three distinct patterns of the superficial peroneal nerve.These were consisted of type A(78.6),type B%(14.3),type C(%7.1).Type A was observed at a mean distance 4.5 cm proximal to the ankle joint divided 2 major branches after penetrated crural fascia.A large branch was medial dorsal cutaneous nerve and a smaller that located more laterally was intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve.Both medial and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve were arisen independently in type B.In this type,medial dorsal cutaneous nerve had a similar course to that found type A,while intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve penetrated the posterior of the crural fascia.And then this branch coursed laterally from anterior of the fibula at the mean distance 1.5 cm above the ankle.Medial dorsal cutaneous and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve were arisen independently in type C.Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve was coursed similar to type A,however intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve penetrated the crural fascia in the anterior of the distal fibula was seen.This nerve was found at the mean distance 2.3 cm to the lateral malleol. According to these results,iatrogenic trauma may be seen especially in type B and C during the ankle arthroscopy or other surgical procedures in the distal fibular region. This study suggest localization of the superfical peroneal nerve is invariable. Anatomic course and variations to determine the safe zones of this nerve should be known in detail.
