Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y.) - 1 Mar 2011

Eid Essam M, Hegazy Ahmed M S

Abstract excerpt

The sural nerve is the most commonly nerve used in nerve transplantation, and so the aim of this study was to determine the variations of the sural nerve in the back of the leg, its relations to the calcaneal tendon and lateral malleolus, and determine the patterns of its distribution on the dorsum of the foot. Twenty-four Egyptian legs and feet were dissected. The results showed that the sural communicating...
