Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common fibular nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve and innervates muscles that control foot dorsiflexion and eversion, as well as sensation on the dorsum of the foot and lateral leg. Fracture of the fibula can cause compression or stretching of this nerve, leading to damage or dysfunction. Therefore, the common fibular nerve and its branches need to be assessed for damage in this scenario.
