Nerves · Lower limbPosterior branch of obturator nerveRamus posterior nervi obturatoriiThe deep division of the obturator nerve, passing through obturator externus to supply the deep adductors and send a twig to the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbPosterior femoral cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus femoris posteriorA sensory branch of the sacral plexus that supplies the skin of the lower buttock, the back of the thigh and the upper calf.
Nerves · Lower limbPosterior root of posterior femoral cutaneous nerveRadix posterior nervi cutanei femoris posteriorisThe contribution to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve that comes from the posterior divisions of the first and second sacral nerves.
Nerves · Lower limbProper plantar digital branches of lateral plantar nerveRami digitales plantares proprii nervi plantaris lateralisThe terminal toe nerves of the lateral plantar nerve, serving the plantar skin of the little toe's outer edge and the fourth web space.
Nerves · Lower limbProper plantar digital branches of medial plantar nerveRami digitales plantares proprii nervi plantaris medialisThe terminal toe nerves of the medial plantar nerve, supplying the plantar skin of the medial three and a half toes and their nail beds.
Nerves · Lower limbSaphenous nerveNervus saphenusThe longest sensory branch of the femoral nerve, running through the adductor canal and down the inner leg to the medial foot.
Nerves · Lower limbSciatic nerveNervus ischiadicusThe thickest nerve in the body, leaving the pelvis below piriformis and running down the back of the thigh to divide above the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperficial fibular nerveNervus fibularis superficialisA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the fibular muscles and most of the skin on the top of the foot.
Nerves · Lower limbSuperior gluteal nerveNervus gluteus superiorA branch of the sacral plexus that leaves the pelvis above piriformis and supplies gluteus medius, gluteus minimus and tensor fasciae latae.
Nerves · Lower limbSural communicating branch of common fibular nerveRamus communicans suralis nervi fibularis communisA cutaneous branch of the common fibular nerve that crosses the back of the calf to join the medial sural cutaneous nerve.
Nerves · Lower limbSural nerveNervus suralisA purely sensory nerve of the calf, formed from tibial and fibular branches, that supplies the skin of the lateral ankle and foot.
Nerves · Lower limbTibial nerveNervus tibialisThe bigger of the sciatic nerve's two end branches, running through the popliteal fossa and calf to divide behind the medial malleolus.
