The superficial fibular nerve innervates the fibularis longus (also known as peroneus longus) and fibularis brevis (peroneus brevis) muscles and the skin over the greater part of the dorsum of the foot (with the exception of the first web space which is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve).It passes forward between the fibularis muscles and the extensor digitorum longus pierces the deep fascia at the lower third of the leg and finally divides into a medial dorsal cutaneous nerve and an intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve.
