In the lower thigh/above the back of the knee, the sciatic nerve divides into two nerves, the  tibial and peroneal nerves, which innervate different parts of the lower leg: Peroneal nerves. The peroneal nerves travel laterally (sideways) along the outer part of the knee and down into the upper foot.
The peroneal nerves originate from the nerve roots at the fourth and fifth lumbar spine (L4-L5) and first and second levels of the sacrum (S1-2). After the peroneal nerves leave the pelvis, they travel down the front and side of the leg, and along the outer side of the knee, to the foot. The tibial nerves originate from the nerve roots at L4-5 and S1-3. The tibial nerves pass in front of the knee and downward into the foot (heel, sole, toes).
