Can sural nerve injuries be prevented in posterior leg approaches? Stage 1: Ultrasound evaluation of a new method based on surface anatomical landmarks and sural nerve pathway

Category: Other; Other Introduction/ Purpose: The risk of sural nerve intersection with posterior leg approaches, and its potential risk of injury in some surgeries can range from 60% to 100%. Several authors have described methods to predict the path of the sural nerve through metric units of non-p...
