Table 2.

Origin type of the LCNC and distance between the tip of the fibular head and the branching point of the LCNC

LCNC origin Number of cases Distance (mm)
Type 1a Lateral margin of the CFN 5 30.0 (20.0–59.2)
Type 1b Medial margin of the CFN 5 10.1 (-6.0–48.0)
Type 2 LSCN 10 24.0 (-22.0–35.5)
Type 3 Lateral margin of the CFN; LSCN 1 13.0

Values were presented as median (minimum–maximum). Minus value indicates that the LCNC courses was medial to the origin nerve.

Distance, distance between the fibular head and the lateral cutaneous nerve branching point; LCNC, lateral cutaneous nerve of the calf; CFN, common fibular nerve; LSCN, lateral sural cutaneous nerve.
