Lower Limb Muscles

Tensor fasciae suralis may appear as a mass or swelling in the popliteal fossa (Montet et al. 2002). As this muscle crosses the popliteal fossa, it may compress the popliteal vein (Somayaji et al. 1998) and/or other neurovascular structures in the fossa. George et al. (2019) describe a laterally displaced variant of tensor fasciae suralis and suggest that its placement may cause compression neuropathy to the common fibular nerve and lateral sural cutaneous nerve.

The patient is placed in the lateral decubitus position and a small sandbag is placed under the foot. Mark tip of the fibula, base of fourth MT and make a 3-cm incision from just below the tip of the fibula, through the sinus tarsi towards the fourth MT base (Figure 2.16a). It can be extended to the cuboid when exposure of the anterior end of the calcaneum and CCJ is required for fixation of fractures involving the anterior calcaneal tuberosity or, for arthrodesis of both subtalar and CC joints (Figure 2.16f). Avoid injury to the lateral sural cutaneous nerve, PL and brevis tendons in the distal part of the incision. If the land marks are obscured by swelling, the incision is marked under image intensifier by placing a wire over the proposed incision.
The Bladder (BL)
Published in Narda G. Robinson, Interactive Medical Acupuncture Anatomy, 2016
Medial sural cutaneous nerve: Innervates the skin on the posterior and lateral leg and lateral side of the foot; forms the sural nerve if it joins the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. Accompanies the small saphenous vein.

The sural nerve is a sensory nerve that innervates the posterolateral side of the leg and the dorsolateral aspect of the foot. It is made up of the medial sural cutaneous nerve that originates from the tibial nerve, the lateral sural cutaneous nerve that comes from the common peroneal nerve, and a sural communicating branch (Steele et al. 2021). The sural nerve is vulnerable to polyneuropathies, traumatic injuries, injury from surgery in the area of the nerve, neoplastic compressions and, occasionally, it is altered in lumbosacral radiculopathies (Dumitru et al. 2003; Mondelli et al. 2013; Palve and Palve 2021).
Free neurosensory flap based on the accompanying vessels of lateral sural cutaneous nerve: anatomic study and preliminary clinical applications

The free lateral sural neurocutaneous flap used in this study has several advantages. First of all, as the flap is raised based on the SLSA that runs along the superficial cutaneous nerve, there is no need to dissect perforator vessels as a pedicle through the gastrocnemius muscle – a time-consuming procedure which is essential to elevate a sural perforator flap. Second, it contains only the lateral sural cutaneous nerve, sparing the medial sural cutaneous nerve; this may minimize donor site morbidity to a certain degree.
