What is the main muscular deficit associated with a common fibular nerve injury?

Inability to dorsiflex

Which gait abnormality is typically seen as a compensatory mechanism for 'foot drop'?

Waddling gait

If left untreated, compartment syndrome may lead to:

Necrosis of affected tissues

Which nerve can be compressed deep to the inferior extensor retinaculum, leading to 'ski boot syndrome'?

Deep fibular nerve

Injury to which nerve would result in sensory deficits specific to the dorsum of the foot?

Superficial fibular nerve

How would you differentiate between a common fibular nerve injury and a deep fibular nerve injury based on motor deficits?

Common fibular - inability to plantarflex; Deep fibular - inability to dorsiflex

Which nerve innervates the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, responsible for plantarflexion and supination/inversion?

Tibial nerve

Which nerve innervates the muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg, responsible for eversion and pronation?

Superficial fibular nerve

Which nerve innervates the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg, responsible for dorsiflexion?

Deep fibular nerve

What is the primary function of the tibial nerve during the gait cycle?

Plantarflexion during stance phase

Which nerve is formed by the combination of the medial sural cutaneous nerve (from the tibial nerve) and the communicating branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve (from the common fibular nerve)?

Sural nerve

During the swing phase of the gait cycle, which nerve is primarily responsible for the dorsiflexion of the foot?

Deep fibular nerve

Which nerve innervates the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles?

Tibial nerve

Which nerve is vulnerable to injury in the clinical case described?

Deep fibular nerve

During the stance phase of the gait cycle, which muscles are primarily active?

Dorsiflexors and plantarflexors

Which nerve innervates the tibialis anterior muscle?

Deep fibular nerve

During the swing phase of the gait cycle, which muscles are primarily active?

Plantarflexors only

Which nerve provides sensory innervation to the lateral aspect of the dorsum of the foot?

Superficial fibular nerve

This quiz covers the branches of nerves and arteries in the lower limb anatomy, including the tibial nerve, fibular nerve, and various cutaneous nerves. Test your knowledge on the anatomy of the lower limb branches.
