Main Article Content
Keywords
Sciatic nerve, variations, Bifurcation & Piriformis muscle.
Abstract
Aim & Objectives:- To study the anatomical vari ations in the sciatic nerve and comparative study of the sciatic nerve in its emergence in relation to Piriformis muscle and its course & branching pattern in the gluteal region & back of thigh with others studies.
Method:- TYPE OF STUDY: Cross-sectional and observational studies of 50 human cadavers.
Result: The present study, the sciatic nerve was of typical type seen in 36 (72%) Specimens. The atypical type was seen in 14 (28%) and the sciatic nerve shows variations in the level of division. In the present study, in the gluteal region (12%), in the middle of thigh (16%) and at the superior angle of popliteal fossa (72%) were observed. The present study compared with studies of other researchers.
Conclusion The present study shows variation of sciatic nerve in its emergence, course & level of division which may interfere or create complications during the intraoperative procedures or later on its bifurcation level above the popliteal fossa crease is considered important by clinician
