The peroneal nerve, also known as common fibular nerve, is one of the branches of the sciatic nerve. It is the most commonly injured nerve of the lower leg due to its location. Peroneal nerve injury and disease may arise due to various possible causes ranging from trauma, compression or infection.
Nerve injury is the most common cause of foot drop. Compression of the peroneal nerve affects the control on the muscles involved in lifting the foot. The nerve may get compressed at the knee or in the lower spine. Knee or hip replacement surgeries of other nerve injuries may also damage the nerve.
