“…Then the DPN travels downward, anterior to the interosseus membrane, together with the anterior tibial artery, and is located posterior to the extensor digitorum longus between the extensor digitorum longus and the tibialis anterior muscles (Figure 2A). Along its course, the DPN sends motor branches to the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg 12 …”

“…The accessory DPN is a reported accessory nerve that originates from the SPN, underneath the peroneus brevis muscle, which travels distally, posterior to the lateral malleolus to innervate the EDB muscle and to provide sensory innervation of the lateral part of the foot and ankle 28 . This is not rare and has been reported in around 25% of anatomic studies 12 . The clinical importance of this variant is related to fact that electromyographic studies may be misleading, showing normal EBD activity even when there is a DPN lesion, and the patient will be able to dorsiflex the fourth and fifth toes 28 …”

“…Specifically, tight shoes may exacerbate the symptoms in ATTS and partial ATTS, and patients may present with an antalgic gait. Pain may diminish with rest but may be also present at night due to nerve stretching in a particular sleep position 12 …”

“…The deep peroneal nerve (DPN), also referred to as the deep fibular nerve, is one of the two main terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve (CPN). Deep peroneal nerve neuropathy is linked to acute or chronic injuries that may involve different levels from proximal to distal, which are clinically challenging to correctly diagnose and which require a specific therapy 12 . The US depiction of the CPN and the superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) anatomy and pathologic appearances is well described in the literature, whereas similar articles about the DPN are lacking 13–15 …”

Ultrasound is considered an excellent imaging modality to evaluate the nerves of the limbs. The deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is one of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve. The DPN may be affected by various disorders, which may be clinically challenging to show. This Pictorial Essay reviews the normal ultrasound anatomy of the DPN and presents disorders that may involve the nerve and its main branches along its course, from proximal to distal.

Case: A 28-year-old male patient who injured his ankle 2 years ago presented with unilateral ankle pain, tingling, and numbness for 1 year. Clinically, tenderness and positive Tinel sign were localized on anterior aspect of ankle. On exploration, deep peroneal nerve and mainly its articular branch were encased in fibrotic tissue. Decompression of both nerves resulted in symptomatic relief after surgery. Conclusion: High index of suspicion, a thorough medical history, meticulous clinical examination, complete knowledge of nerve anatomy, proper radiological studies, and careful surgical decompression are all necessary for the diagnosis and management of such atypical cases.
