This image shows the popliteal fossa. The arrow indicates the common fibular nerve. The common fibular nerve and the tibial nerve originate from the sciatic nerve which splits into the two branches. The common fibular nerve exits the popliteal fossa by passing with the biceps femoris tendon over the lower lateral margin of this region to continue to the lateral side of the leg.
