Lateral compartment of leg

Cross-section through middle of left leg. (Anterior compartment at upper left; lateral at center left; deep posterior at center; superficial posterior at bottom right.
Gray's	subject #129 486
Artery	fibular artery
Nerve	superficial peroneal nerve

The lateral compartment of the leg is supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve. Its proximal and distal arterial supply consists of perforating branches of the anterior tibial and fibular arteries, respectively^[1].

It contains the evertors of the foot (fibularis longus, fibularis brevis).^[2] These muscles also are involved in plantarflexion.
