What major nerves are located in the front of the lower leg/ shin area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg anatomy: The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve), a branch of the common fibular nerve. The nerve contains axons from the L4, L5, and S1 spinal nerves.
