The common peroneal nerve may be compromised at several points along its course.
Decompression at the level of the fibular head
One of the most common sites of a peripheral lesion of the common peroneal nerve is at the level of the fibular head. The leading symptoms are a motor deficit in the form of weakness of ankle dorsiflexion, as well as hypoesthesia in the ventral lower leg and dorsum of the foot[^1].
