The aim of this study was to analyze the course and branching patterns of the SFNs relative to bony landmarks to provide foundational data for surgical precision and thereby minimize iatrogenic injuries. Thirty\u2010four embalmed Korean cadavers were dissected. The points at which the SFN (1) pierced through the crural fascia and (2) bifurcated into the medial and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerves were measured from the lateral malleolus and fibula. The SFN piercing point was located at an average of 89.6\u2009\u00b1\u200930.8\u2009mm (range: 26.5\u2013153.8\u2009mm) above the lateral malleolus and 14.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.6\u2009mm (range: 7.1\u201321.5\u2009mm) horizontally from the fibula. In 32 specimens, the SFN pierced the fascia and then bifurcated, but in the other two cases it bifurcated before piercing the fascia. The bifurcation point was identified at an average height of 40.8\u2009\u00b1\u200920.1\u2009mm and a horizontal distance of 25.1\u2009\u00b1\u20097.5\u2009mm from the fibula. There was significant anatomical variability in the trajectory and branching patterns of the SFN. These findings underscore the importance of precise anatomical knowledge for minimizing complications during foot and ankle surgeries. This study provides a foundation for preoperative planning and clinical application around the SFN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.24275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,19]],"date-time":"2025-04-19T02:01:36Z","timestamp":1745028096000},"page":"77-82","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Topographical Anatomy of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve: A Cadaveric Study on Anatomical Patterns and Clinical Implications"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9898-2035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyu\u2010Lim","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project Yonsei University College of Dentistry  Seoul South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soo\u2010Bin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Anatomy, Institute of Biomaterial Implant, College of Dentistry Wonkwang University  Iksan South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"KyeongSik","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project Yonsei University College of Dentistry  Seoul South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5572-1364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hee\u2010Jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project Yonsei University College of Dentistry  Seoul South Korea"},{"name":"Department of Materials Science &amp; Engineering, College of Engineering Yonsei University  Seoul South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276\u2010007\u20100296\u2010z"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276\u2010007\u20100284\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.jfas.2006.02.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199408000-00028"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.23323"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534\u2010200201000\u201000024"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.08.1898"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","first-page":"241","article-title":"The Superficial Fibular Nerve at the Foot.
