The anatomy of the sural nerve is highly variable, and the nerve can present injuries of various etiologies, including iatrogenic injury during surgery. Precise knowledge of the course and morphology of the sural nerve is valuable, and the ability to assess the nerve properly before surgery increases the postoperative success rate, as well as facilitating the execution of nerve conduction studies and biopsies. The purpose of this article is to describe and illustrate the anatomy of the sural nerve, as seen on ultrasonography, which is a practical and economical imaging method.
腓肠神经的解剖结构高度可变,该神经可出现各种病因导致的损伤,包括手术中的医源性损伤。准确了解腓肠神经的走行和形态很有价值,术前正确评估该神经的能力可提高术后成功率,还便于进行神经传导研究和活检。本文的目的是描述和展示超声检查所见的腓肠神经解剖结构,超声是一种实用且经济的成像方法。
