sciatic nerve
No, the sciatic nerve is not formed by three separate nerves wrapped in connective tissue. It is a single nerve that originates from the lumbosacral plexus, primarily formed by the L4 to S3 spinal nerves. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and branches into the tibial and common peroneal (fibular) nerves.
The sciatic nerve approaches the knee and divides into two branches: the fibular nerve (also known as the common peroneal nerve) and the tibial nerve. This division typically occurs near the popliteal fossa, which is the area behind the knee. The tibial nerve continues down the posterior leg, while the fibular nerve travels laterally and wraps around the neck of the fibula.
The nerve that approaches the knee and divides into the fibular and tibial nerves is the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. It originates from the lower spine and travels down the back of the thigh, eventually splitting into these two branches at the knee.
Tibial nerves main function is to plantar flex and invert the foot
A tibial fibular osteotomy may be needed to correct deformities or realign the bones in the lower leg, such as in cases of malunion or nonunion fractures, osteoarthritis, or to address limb length discrepancies. This procedure can help improve the function and stability of the lower leg, reducing pain and promoting better mobility for the patient.

There is no one 'neuron' - different aspects of your foot are supplied by different nerves, each of which contains many neurons. Mainly the innervation of the foot comes from the tibial and the common peroneal (fibular) nerves, both of which branch from the sciatic nerve.
The two branches of the sciatic nerve are the tibial nerve and the common fibular (peroneal) nerve. The tibial nerve supplies the posterior compartment of the leg, while the common fibular nerve innervates the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg and the muscles of the foot.

The sciatic nerve is a combination of the common fibular (peroneal) nerve and the tibial nerve.
it means that you fractured part of your tibia and fibula

The nerves that arise from the lumbar plexus are femoral, obturator, lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, illoinguinal and illohypogastric nerve. As part of lumbosacral plexus, it is the nervous plexus that is found in the lumbar region.

The common name for the tibial crest is the shinbone.
The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
