Figure 6. The superficial peroneal nerve usually exits the fascia of the lateral compartment, where it becomes entrapped. In about 25% of patients, there is a high division of this nerve such that it has a branch in both the lateral and anterior compartment. Therefore, in every patient, we teach to open both compartments. An example of such a patient is shown here after decompression.
