The danger zone for the plantar and calcaneal divisions of the tibial nerve - a cadaveric study
نویسندگان
چکیده
To this end, we describe an area that arises from the midpoint of the navicular-calcaneal line (MPNCL), which contains both nerve divisions in the majority of cases. We called this area the danger zone. We identified the size and location of this danger zone by dissecting a total of 50 cadaveric feet. We measured the distance from the origin of each nerve division to both the navicular tuberosity and the calcaneal insertion of the Achilles tendon. From these measurements we were able to calculate the distance of each division from the MP-NCL along two axes, the navicular-calcaneal line (NCL) and a line perpendicular to this crossing at the midpoint.

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the bifurcation pattern of the tibial nerve and its branches. METHODS Eleven legs of seven fresh cadavers were dissected. The reference line for the bifurcation point of tibial nerve branches was an imaginary horizontal line passing the tip of the medial malleolus. The distances between the reference line and the bifurcation points were measured. The bifurcation branc...

OBJECTIVE Determine, through dissection in fresh cadavers, the topographic anatomy of the tibial nerve and its branches at the ankle, in relation to the tarsal tunnel. METHODS Bilateral dissections were performed on 26 fresh cadavers and the locations of the tibial nerve bifurcation and its branches were measured in millimeters. For the calcaneal branches, the amount and their respective nerv...

Introduction: Medial tibial stress syndrome is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries among soldiers. However, there has not been a detailed report on the effect of risk-factors on its occurrence including the distribution of plantar pressure in military personnel and different communities. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plantar pressure dist...
