Answer − C − Damage to the deep peroneal nerve will cause sensory loss on adjacent sides of the great and second toes and impaired dorsiflexion of the foot. The deep peroneal nerve supplies the anterior muscles of the leg, including the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius muscles, which dorsiflex the foot. The medial branch of the deep peroneal nerve supplies the skin of adjacent sides of the great and second toes.
