A. femoral, anterior crural, 13 percent;

B. femoral, anterior crural, below iliacus nerve, 11 percent;

C. genitofemoral, genito crural, 2 percent;

J. deep peroneal, above midshin, 9 percent;

K. deep peroneal, below midshin, anterior tibial, 2 percent;

L. superficial peroneal, 5 percent;

M. tibial nerve, medial, or internal popliteal:

(1) above knee, 15 percent;

(2) posterior tibial, midcalf and knee, 11 percent;

(3) below midcalf, 9 percent;

(4) lateral plantar branch, 3 percent; or

(5) medial plantar branch, 3 percent;

N. sural, external saphenous, 1 percent;

O. L-4 nerve root, 11 percent;

P. L-5 nerve root, 13 percent;

Q. S-1 nerve root, 15 percent; or

R. Lumbosacral plexus, 40 percent.
