Nerves · Lower limbAnterior branch of obturator nerveRamus anterior nervi obturatoriiThe front division of the obturator nerve, running down the medial thigh between the adductors to supply them and the overlying skin.
Nerves · Lower limbAnterior cutaneous branches of femoral nerveRami cutanei anteriores nervi femoralisSensory branches of the femoral nerve that supply the skin over the front and medial side of the thigh, down to the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbAnterior root of posterior femoral cutaneous nerveRadix anterior nervi cutanei femoris posteriorisThe contribution to the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve that comes from the anterior divisions of the second and third sacral nerves.
Nerves · Lower limbCommon fibular nerveNervus fibularis communisThe lateral, smaller of the sciatic nerve's two end branches, curling round the fibular neck to serve the front and side of the leg.
Nerves · Lower limbCommon plantar digital branches of lateral plantar nerveRami digitales plantares communes nervi plantaris lateralisThe digital branches from the superficial branch of the lateral plantar nerve, serving the little toe and the fourth web space.
Nerves · Lower limbCommon plantar digital branches of medial plantar nerveRami digitales plantares communes nervi plantaris medialisThree digital nerves of the medial plantar nerve that run to the first three toe clefts and split for the facing toe surfaces.
Nerves · Lower limbDeep fibular nerveNervus fibularis profundusA terminal branch of the common fibular nerve that supplies the muscles of the anterior leg and the first web space of the foot.
Nerves · Lower limbDorsal digital branches of deep fibular nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi fibularis profundiTwo small sensory nerves on the top of the foot that supply the skin of the web space between the big toe and the second toe.
Nerves · Lower limbDorsal digital branches of superficial fibular nerveRami digitales dorsales nervi fibularis superficialisSensory nerves on the top of the foot that carry feeling from the dorsal skin of most of the toes, up to the last phalanges.
Nerves · Lower limbFemoral branch of genitofemoral nerveRamus femoralis nervi genitofemoralisThe thigh branch of the genitofemoral nerve, passing beneath the inguinal ligament to supply skin over the upper femoral triangle.
Nerves · Lower limbFemoral nerveNervus femoralisThe biggest lumbar plexus branch, passing under the inguinal ligament to supply the knee extensors and skin of the front of the thigh.
Nerves · Lower limbGenitofemoral nerveNervus genitofemoralisA lumbar plexus nerve that pierces psoas major and runs down its front to supply the cremaster, groin skin and upper front of the thigh.
Nerves · Lower limbInfrapatellar branch of saphenous nerveRamus infrapatellaris nervi sapheniA cutaneous branch of the saphenous nerve that curves below the kneecap to supply the skin over the front of the knee.
Nerves · Lower limbIntermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve of footNervus cutaneus intermedius dorsalis pedisThe lateral terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve, supplying skin of the lateral dorsum of the foot and the third and fourth web spaces.
Nerves · Lower limbLateral femoral cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus lateralis femorisA purely sensory lumbar plexus nerve that crosses iliacus and leaves the pelvis beside the iliac spine to supply skin of the outer thigh.
Nerves · Lower limbLateral plantar nerveNervus plantaris lateralisThe smaller terminal branch of the tibial nerve, crossing the sole to supply most deep foot muscles and the lateral one and a half toes.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerveRami cutanei cruris mediales nervi sapheniBranches of the saphenous nerve that supply the skin of the medial side of the leg, from the knee down to the ankle.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial dorsal cutaneous nerve of footNervus cutaneus medialis dorsalis pedisThe medial terminal branch of the superficial fibular nerve, supplying skin on the inner dorsum, the great toe and the second web space.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial plantar nerveNervus plantaris medialisThe bigger end branch of the tibial nerve, supplying the inner sole, a few short foot muscles and the medial three and a half toes.
Nerves · Lower limbMedial sural cutaneous nerveNervus cutaneus medialis suraeA cutaneous branch of the tibial nerve that descends between the heads of gastrocnemius and joins a fibular branch to form the sural nerve.
Nerves · Lower limbMuscular branches of deep fibular nerveRami musculares nervi fibularis profundiThe motor twigs of the deep fibular nerve to the extensor muscles of the anterior leg and the short extensors on the foot.
Nerves · Lower limbNerve to piriformis muscleNervus musculi piriformisA short branch of the sacral plexus that enters piriformis from its pelvic surface, usually carrying fibres of the first and second sacral nerves.
Nerves · Lower limbNerve to quadratus femoris muscleNervus musculi quadrati femorisA branch of the sacral plexus that supplies quadratus femoris and inferior gemellus and sends a twig to the hip joint.
Nerves · Lower limbObturator nerveNervus obturatoriusA lumbar plexus nerve that runs along the side wall of the pelvis and through the obturator canal to the adductor muscles of the thigh.
