Abstract:Purpose
Anatomical landmarks can provide vital information on the distribution of nerves in the gastrocnemius muscle. We aimed to provide an anatomical perspective on appropriate locations for botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections in the medial and lateral parts of the gastrocnemius for calf shaping.
Materials and Methods
A modified Sihler’s method was applied to both the medial and lateral parts of the gastrocnemius muscles (16 specimens). Intramuscular neural distrib… Show more
