Lateral terminal branch turns laterally and ends in pseudo ganglion deep to the extended digitorum brevis. Medial terminal branch ends by supplying skin adjoining the first interdigital cleft and the proximal joints of the big toe. Femoral nerve is the nerve of anterior compament of thigh.

Superficial peroneal nerve is smaller terminal branch of common paroneal nerve.Its branches supply the skin over lower 1/3 of lateral side of the leg, skin over the entire dorsum of foot except lateral border supplied by dural nerve and medial border up to base of great toe supplied by saphenous nerve and cleft between 1st and 2nd toes supplied by deep peroneal nerve <img src=" /> Ref: BD Chaurasia(6th edition pg-95,96)
