Recurrent position and innervation pattern of recurrent peroneal nerve: A cadaveric study

The recurrent peroneal nerve (RPN) branches from the common peroneal nerve or the deep peroneal nerve and it innervates to the lower patellar region. It has recently been reported that damage to the RPN causes pain in the lower patellar region; therefore, this study examined the recurrent position and the innervation pattern of the RPN.
