Why common peroneal nerve is most affected in sciatic nerve injury?
most commonly injured at the neck of the fibula. injury will cause paralysis of muscles of anterior and lateral compartments of leg along with sensory loss on the skin of the dorsum of the foot. there will be loss of dorsiflexion and that will cause foot drop with patient walking on toes of affected foot. patient will also have difficulty in eversion of the foot with foot remaining in inversion.
What is the difference between foot drop due to sciatic nerve injury and common peroneal nerve injury?
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same

An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of what nerve?
An inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function of the common peroneal nerve, a branch of the sciatic nerve. This nerve provides motor function to the muscles that extend the leg and dorsiflex the foot. Injury or compression of the common peroneal nerve can lead to weakness or paralysis in these muscles, resulting in difficulty extending the leg.
The sciatic nerve is composed of what two nerves?
the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve:Common Peroneal Nerve, comprised of nerve fibers from L5, S1, S2, and S3.Tibial Nerve comprised of nerve fibers from L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3)
Which nerve supplies the peroneus brevis and longus muscles?
superficial peroneal nerve
Does the Peroneal nerve serve muscles of the chest shoulder arm leg or abdomen?

Which nerve roots make up the sciatic nerve?
