The tibial nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve, which innervates the legs and feet. Anatomical variations of this nerve at the ankle are commonly found. The variation of the tibial nerve in its branching point and cross-sectional area (CSA) at the ankle is commonly related to clinical condition such as foot neuropathy. Knowledge of these variations can support the clinician in making appropriate clinical decisions. This review aims at providing knowledge on the anatomical variations of tibial nerve at ankle, as well as its clinical correlation. This review outlined the variation of the terminal branching point and CSA of the tibial nerve at the ankle in cadaveric and clinical studies.
胫神经是坐骨神经的一个分支,支配腿部和足部。该神经在踝关节处的解剖变异很常见。胫神经在踝关节处的分支点和横截面积(CSA)的变异通常与足部神经病变等临床情况有关。了解这些变异有助于临床医生做出恰当的临床决策。本综述旨在提供有关胫神经在踝关节处的解剖变异及其临床相关性的知识。本综述概述了尸体研究和临床研究中胫神经在踝关节处的终末分支点和CSA的变异情况。
