Peroneal

Peroneal (pronunciation: /pəˈroʊniəl/), also known as fibular, is a term used in anatomy to refer to structures related to the fibula, one of the two bones located in the lower leg. The term "peroneal" is derived from the Greek word "perone", meaning "pin of a brooch", which the fibula resembles.

Peroneal Muscles

There are three peroneal muscles in the human body: the Peroneus Longus, the Peroneus Brevis, and the Peroneus Tertius. These muscles are located in the lateral compartment of the leg and are primarily responsible for eversion and plantar flexion of the foot.

Peroneal Nerves

The Peroneal Nerves, also known as fibular nerves, are branches of the Sciatic Nerve that serve the lower legs, feet, and toes. There are two main peroneal nerves: the Superficial Peroneal Nerve and the Deep Peroneal Nerve.

Peroneal Arteries

The Peroneal Artery, also known as the fibular artery, is a branch of the Posterior Tibial Artery that supplies blood to the lateral compartment of the leg and the foot.
