The accessory deep peroneal nerve is a common anatomical variation in innervating the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) muscle of the foot. Awareness of this anomaly is important in electrodiagnostic study of peroneal nerve lesions. One hundred healthy Taiwanese, including 50 men and 50 women, were tested for the presence of an accessory deep peroneal nerve by an electrodiagnostic method. The presence of a visible EDB twitch and an amplitude of the evoked muscle action potential of 0.2 mV or greater upon stimulation of the accessory deep peroneal nerve were taken as positive findings. This study showed that the EDB is …
