We present a rare case of traumatic lesion the tibial fibers sciatic nerve with spared peroneal fibers. A 33-year-old victim three month earlier stabbing attack came to our attention gait impairment and weakened left foot plantar flexion internal rotation supination. Based upon clinical signs neurophysiological investigations we suspected that injury had occurred. Ultrasound examination detecte...

OBJECTIVE Block of the sciatic nerve at the popliteal fossa can be performed using the ultrasound machine; it may be proximally or distally to the bifurcation of the sciatic nerve using lateral, medial, or posterior approaches. It is frequently used for surgeries below the knee specially the foot and ankle operations. PURPOSE This study compares one and two injections of the sciatic nerve in ...

22 Even though interlimb coordination is critical in bipedal locomotion, the role of muscle 23 afferent mediated feedback is unknown. The aim of this study was to establish if ipsilateral 24 muscle generated afferent feedback can influence contralateral muscle activation patterns in 25 the human lower limb and to elucidate the mechanisms involved. 26 The effect of ipsilateral tibial nerve stimu...

Scar hyperplasia at the suture site is an important reason for hindering the repair effect of peripheral nerve injury anastomosis. To address this issue, two repair methods are often used. Biological agents are used to block nerve sutures and the surrounding tissue to achieve physical anti-adhesion effects. Another agent is glucocorticosteroid, which can prevent scar growth by inhibiting inflam...

INTRODUCTION The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve, with a long course in the inferior extremity. Its division into the tibial and common peroneal nerves can occur at any level from the sacral plexus to the inferior part of the popliteal space. These anatomical variations may contribute to clinical conditions such as piriformis syndrome, sciatica and coccygodynia. METHODS This study was perf...

Intramedullary tibial nailing was performed in ten paired cadavers and the insertion of a medial-to-lateral proximal oblique locking screw was simulated in each specimen. Anatomical dissection was undertaken to determine the relationship of the common peroneal nerve to the cross-screw. The common peroneal nerve was contacted directly in four tibiae and the cross-screw was a mean of 2.6 mm (1.0 ...

The sciatic nerve, as the largest branch of the sacral plexus, leaves the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen beneath the piriform muscle. Afterwards, it divides into the tibial and the common peroneal nerves, most frequently at the level of the upper angle of the popliteal fossa. Higher level of the sciatic nerve division is a relatively frequent phenomenon. The tibial nerve gives muscu...
