peroneal
Relating to fibula
Peroneal refers to the outer side of the lower leg, near the fibula bone.
The term appears in anatomical contexts: the peroneal nerve, peroneal artery, peroneal muscles.
These structures run along the lateral leg and control foot movement.
The patient suffered peroneal nerve damage after the injury.
