Abstrakt:	Lower extremity nervous anatomy is highly variable. This study sought to determine relationships of lower extremity peripheral nerves to anatomic landmarks. Sixteen well-preserved lower extremities were dissected. The distance from each nerve point of interest to relevant landmarks was measured in standardized fashion. The sciatic nerve divided on average 26.0% ± 5% of the distance from the superior aspect of the fibula to the greater trochanter proximal to the knee joint line [Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) D 0.764]. The superficial peroneal nerve pierced the crural fascia at an average of 28.0% ± 6% of the fibular length proximal to the lateral malleolus (PCC D 0.718). The deep peroneal nerve emerged between the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus on average 2.7% ± 0.4% of the fibular length proximal to the tibiotalar joint line (PCC D 0.530). While there was substantial variability in the course of lower extremity peripheral nerves, the study found strong correlation with femur and fibula length within each specimen.
