“…In the present study Type A Sural Nerve formation was more common. The present study is similar to the study done by William et al [10]., Heulke et al [11], Mestdagh et al [12], S R Seema et al [13]. According to Heulke et al [11] formation of SN was broadly classified into three types: Types A, B, and C.…”

Background:The sural nerve is a major cutaneous nerve of the lower limb that courses through the posterolateral leg to supply the lateral margin of the hindfoot and midfoot and the ankle joint. The sural nerve accompanies the small saphenous vein as it descends in the posterior leg, traveling inferolateral as it crosses the lateral border of the calcaneal (Achilles) tendon. It then passes posterior to the lateral malleolus and terminates as the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve supplying the lateral aspect of the foot. The precise knowledge of Sural Nerve crossing the lateral border of Achilles Tendon at particular distance proximal to Calcaneal tuberosity will help the surgeon to avoid Sural nerve injury at that point in a given leg length.

“…Further, SN has a long length and minimal branching and is easy to harvest. In terms of these advantages, it is the most common graft source for peripheral nerve injuries that require nerve graft repair [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…The SN is one of the major nerves that transmits sensations to the posterior and lateral-distal portion of the leg, lateral side of the heel, and little toe [4][5]11]. It comprises a union of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve (LSCN) branch of the common fibular nerve and medial sural cutaneous nerve (MSCN) branch of the tibial nerve on the posterior side of the leg.…”

Background/aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the course and possible variations of the sural nerve with all anatomical details in human fetal cadavers. Materials and methods: This study was performed on 60 fetal cadavers. Formation type and level of the sural nerve was detected. Results: According to trimesters, it was determined that the mean transverse and vertical distance between the lowest point of the LM and the SN varied between 1.1-2.9 mm and 1.54-3.58 mm, respectively. Type 2 was the most common seen type of sural nerve (35,83%). It was determined that sural nerve was mostly formed at the middle third of the leg (42,5%). Conclusion: Sural nerve graft with the knowledge of the anatomical details may be used for peripheral nerve reconstruction is required in congenital lesions, such as facial paralysis, obstetric brachial paralysis, and post-traumatic lesions in infants and children.

“…It continues all the way through the lateral aspect of the foot as the lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve (Vuksanovic-Bozaric et al, 2014). The anatomy of the SN as normally described is a combined origin from the medial sural cutaneous nerve (MSCN) and the peroneal communicating nerve (PCN), which arise from the tibial nerve (TN) and common peroneal nerve (CPN), respectively (Seema, 2013). However, this textbook anatomy is only seen just over 51% of cases (Ramakrishnan et al 2015).…”

The surgical anatomy of the sural nerve: An ultrasound study

et al. 2017

The aim of this study was (a) to examine the anatomy of the sural nerve (SN) in a sample of 30 patients and (b) to analyze the incidence of different origins of the SN, and the distance of the SN from planned arthroscopic portals. An ultrasound (USG) examination of the SN was performed bilaterally on thirty healthy patients with no history of surgery or trauma of the lower limb. The SNs were classified into six main types of pattern, with an additional category for new and unclassified types. Each of Types 1 and 3 had two subdivisions. The distances from the superior border of the calcaneal tuberosity to the three simulated arthroscopy portal sites (Z1, Z1.5, Z2) to the SN were measured. A total of 30 patients (n = 60 limbs) with an average age of 27 ± 7.5 years were examined and the SN was visualized in all cases. The most common origin was Type 3A, accounting for 30% of limbs. Type 2 was the second most common seen in 18.3%. The distances of the SN from arthroscopic portal placement sites above the lateral malleolus were 2.07 ± 0.39 cm at the Z1 portal, 2.15 ± 0.38 cm at Z1.5, and 2.28 ± 0.33 cm at Z2. The variability in the anatomy of the SN warrants the use of USG to locate it accurately, thus preventing iatrogenic injury when portals are placed for arthroscopy, improving proper administration of anesthesia, and helping to localize the nerve for graft harvesting.
