What is Posterior Tibial Nerve?

Date: 2021-01-18

The posterior tibial nerve (L4-S3) is a branch of the sciatic nerve. After entering the lower leg between the two heads of the gastrocnemius, it runs deep to the soleus in the deep posterior compartment of the leg. In the upper leg, the nerve lies between the posterior tibial muscle and the flexor digitorum longus; in the lower leg, it is between the flexor digitorum longus and the flexor hallucis longus. The posterior tibial nerve then travels behind the medial malleolus, through the proximal tarsal tunnel, where it divides into its terminal branches, the medial and lateral plantar nerves.
