The peroneal (fibular) nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve that travels down the back of the thigh before wrapping around the fibular head and branching into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. It plays a crucial role in controlling the muscles that lift the foot (dorsiflexion) and evert the ankle, as well as providing sensation to the outer lower leg and top of the foot. Due to its location, the peroneal nerve is vulnerable to injury from direct trauma, prolonged pressure (such as crossing the legs), or nerve compression syndromes. When compromised, this nerve can lead to motor and sensory deficits affecting a person's mobility and function.

Common symptoms of peroneal nerve dysfunction include foot drop, where a person has difficulty lifting their foot while walking, leading to a characteristic high-stepping gait. Individuals may also experience numbness, tingling, or burning pain along the outside of the lower leg and top of the foot. Weakness in ankle dorsiflexion and eversion can make walking and balancing challenging. Causes range from compression at the fibular head, nerve entrapment, diabetes-related neuropathy, or post-surgical complications. In this video, we’ll explore the anatomy, common causes, symptoms, and rehab strategies for managing peroneal nerve dysfunction to help restore function and mobility.
