Sciatic Nerve
Sciatic Nerve is the thickest nerve in the body. At the beginning it is 1.5 to 2 cm wide. It is composed of 2 parts tibial and common peroneal nerves and its point of origin is in pelvis of ventral rami of L4 to S3 spinal nerves.
Medial Plantar Nerve
The medial plantar nerve is the significant sensory nerve in the sole of the foot. Insertion The medial plantar nerve enters the sole of the foot deep to the abductor hallucis muscle as well as move onward in the groove in between the abductor hallucis and flexor
Common Peroneal Nerve
Common Peroneal Nerve is a small terminal branch of the Sciatic nerve. Its point of appearance is just above popliteal fossa in the lower third of thigh. The entrance point in popliteal fossa is just below biceps tendon’s border along with upper lateral boundary of popliteal fossa
Nerves of Foot
Main innervation of foot is done by the: Tibial Nerve Deep Fibular Nerve Superficial fibular Nerve Sural Nerve Saphenous Nerves Tibial Nerve The tibial nerve travels inside the foot via the tarsal tunnel, posterior towards the medial malleolus. The nerve lies lateral towards the posterior tibial artery

Contents Muscles: 4 muscles (tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius). Artery: Anterior tibial artery. Nerve: Deep peroneal nerve (anterior
