New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Ankle Block With exception of the saphenous nerve (sensory branch of the femoral nerve), an ankle block is essentially a block of the terminal branches of the sciatic nerve. The superficial peroneal, sural, and saphenous nerves are located in the subcutaneous tissue alongside a circular line that stretches from the lateral aspect of the Achilles tendon across the lateral malleolus, anterior aspect of the foot, and medial malleolus to the medial aspect of the Achilles tendon. To block the saphenous nerve, a 25-gauge 1½" needle is inserted at the level of the medial malleous and a "ring" of local anesthetic is raised from the point of needle entry to the Achille's tendon and anteriorly to the tibial ridge. www.nysora.com /techniques/basic/ankle/ankle.htm   (2749 words)

Phlebology - The Scientific Journal for Veins The strategy of limited stripping of the saphenous vein appears to be successful in reducing the risk of nerve injury and whist still preventing recurrent varices attributable to a residual, incompetent saphenous vein which could be left after sapheno-femoral ligation alone. However, van der Stricht and Ouvry have both published their adaptations of this method which can be used to remove the entire long saphenous vein, without major risk to the saphenous nerve. In the days when Babcock stripping from the ankle to the sapheno-femoral junction was the routine method of removing the saphenous vein, there was a 10—15% incidence of saphenous nerve injury. www.medi-data.co.uk /phlebology/Phleb-Abs_14_2.htm   (2749 words)

lw02.wbc The contents of the adductor canal are the femoral artery, the femoral vein, the saphenous nerve and sometimes the nerve to vastus medialis. The long saphenous vein is a superficial vein and therefore can not be one of the structures of the subsartorial canal which is located deep to the fascia lata of the thigh. The femoral ring anteriorly is bounded by the inguinal ligament, medially by the sharp edge of the lacunar ligament, laterally by the femoral vein and posteriorly by the pecten of the pubic bone. kumc.edu /research/medicine/pharmacology/CAI/webCAI/anatomy/lw02.wbc   (1223 words)

AnkleBlock.htm The five nerves that innervate the region of the ankle are the tibial, deep and superficial peroneal, sural and saphenous nerves. For a tibial nerve block, a skin wheal is made with a 27-G needle midway between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus posterior to the pulsation of the posterior tibial artery. The tibial nerve descends through the midpoint of the interval between the medial malleolus and the calcaneus on the medial side of the ankle under the flexor retinaculum. www.ncpainmanagement.com /AnkleBlock.htm   (1020 words)

Varicose veins - Interesteing Facts and help with Varicose veins In short saphenous vein surgery the common peroneal nerve may be damaged causing foot drop. Muscles in the foot, calf and thigh act as pumps to push blood from the foot to the heart and from the superficial veins (long saphenous and short saphenous veins) to the deep veins via perforator veins. Most vascular surgeons feel that patients with incompetence of the long and short saphenous veins and their major branches should have surgery since the recurrence rate is less. www.londonsurgeon.co.uk /Varicose_Veins_information.htm   (1020 words)

Surgical treatment of varicose veins It should be noted that stripping the short saphenous vein is associated with a high incidence of sural nerve injury. Closure of the long saphenous vein with endoluminal radio-frequency thermal heating of the vein wall in combination with phlebectomy, has been shown to be feasible, safe and effective at limited follow-up. There is usually an upward extension of the short saphenous vein known as the Giacomini vein which, if mistaken for the short saphenous, may make identification of the sapheno-popliteal junction difficult. www.rcsed.ac.uk /Journal/vol46_3/4630006.htm   (1020 words)

Neurology Journal Club Aricle #1 The only sensory nerve examined was the saphenous nerve from dog 6, and axonal degenerative changes were observed in approximately 7% of teased fibers. The tibial nerve specimen obtained from this dog at the time of the second biopsy had a similar percentage of abnormal fibers as the sciatic nerve, but the frequency of axonal degeneration was higher in the distal specimen (Table 2). Ultrastructurally, peripheral nerves from affected dogs were characterized by loss of myelinated fibers, marked increase in endoneurial collagen, axonal degeneration (Fig 4), multifocal myelinoaxonal necrosis (Fig 5), numerous Bungner bands (conglomerations of Schwann cells previously associated with myelinated axons)29 (Fig 6), multifocal macrophage infiltration, occasional regenerating clusters, and presence of dark endoneurial fibroblasts. neuro.vetmed.ufl.edu /neuro/journal_club/articles/malamute_art.htm   (2964 words)

New York School Of Regional Anesthesia - Ankle Block The superficial peroneal, sural, and saphenous nerves are located in the subcutaneous tissue alongside a circular line that stretches from the lateral aspect of the Achilles tendon across the lateral malleolus, anterior aspect of the foot, and medial malleolus to the medial aspect of the Achilles tendon. The tibial nerve (medial popliteal or posterior tibial nerve) separates from the common popliteal nerve at various distances from the popliteal fossa crease and joins the tibial artery behind the knee joint. The sural nerve is a sensory nerve formed by the union of the medial sural nerve - a branch of the tibial nerve - and lateral sural nerve, a branch of the common peroneal nerve. www.nysora.com /techniques/basic/ankle/ankle.htm   (2749 words)

LAB8 Sensory nerve supply to the foot (Netter, 506) is supplied by the saphenous nerve on the medial side and by the sural nerve on the lateral side. The posterior tibial artery supplies medial and lateral plantar arteries to the plantar surface of the foot, while the tibial nerve supplies two main branches to the sole of the foot, the medial and lateral plantarnerves (Netter, 497-498). The deep peroneal nerve, which supplies muscular innervation to the anterior compartment of the leg, provides cutaneous innervation to the area between the big toe and second toe. www.umanitoba.ca /faculties/medicine/units/anatomy/bmr/LAB8.htm   (2749 words)

IX. Neurology. 6d. The Lumbosacral Plexus. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Below the knee, the branches of the saphenous nerve are distributed to the skin of the front and medial side of the leg, communicating with the cutaneous branches of the femoral, or with filaments from the obturator nerve. When the communicating branch from the obturator nerve is large and continued to the integument of the leg, the posterior branch of the medial cutaneous is small, and terminates in the plexus, occasionally giving off a few cutaneous filaments. The accessory obturator, when it exists, is formed by the union of two small branches given off from the third and fourth nerves. www.bartleby.com /107/212.html   (2749 words)

Virtual Hospital: Atlas of Human Anatomy in Cross Section: Section 7. Lower Limb After receiving branches from the sole, which turn over the lateral border of the foot, it passes posterior to the lateral malleolus, receiving malleolar and calcaneal veins, and turns proximally, passing at first along the posterior side of the calf, in company with the sural nerve, first lateral to and then superficial to the nerve. The small saphenous vein most frequently drains into the popliteal vein in the popliteal fossa; it may also communicate by a branch to the great saphenous vein. The small saphenous vein (9) begins at the lateral end of the dorsal venous arch of the foot. www.vh.org /adult/provider/anatomy/HumanAnatomy/7Section/27.html   (2749 words)

The Varicose Veins File: Promising Treatment Options It was found that 24 patients (29%) who had total stripping performed had permanent lesions of the saphenous nerve, whereas only four of the patients (5%) who had partial stripping of the vein had lasting nerve lesions (p < 0.01). OBJECTIVES: Stripping varicose veins can cause invalidating durable dysaesthesia in 25% of the cases due to saphenous vein damage. OBJECTIVE: This study explores the added effect of extended saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) ligation when the greater saphenous vein (GSV) has been eliminated from participating in thigh reflux by means of endovenous obliteration. ssl.adgrafix.com /users/lifestag/varicoseveins/strip.html   (2398 words)

The Sacral and Coccygeal Nerves It also supplies the integument of the medial side of the foot and ankle, and communicates with the saphenous nerve, and with the deep peroneal nerve (Fig. In the upper part of its course the nerve rests upon the posterior surface of the ischium, the nerve to the Quadratus femoris, the Obturator internus and Gemelli, and the Quadratus femoris; it is accompanied by the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve and the inferior gluteal artery, and is covered by the Glutæus maximus. Frequently some of the lateral branches of the superficial peroneal are absent, and their places are then taken by branches of the sural nerve. www.karate.butsu.net /anatomy/sacral_coccygeal.html   (2398 words)

eMedicine - Femoral Mononeuropathy : Article by Elizabeth A Sekul, MD The sensory branch of the femoral nerve, the saphenous nerve, innervates skin of the medial thigh and the anterior and medial aspects of the calf. Iatrogenic causes of femoral mononeuropathy include direct pressure or trauma to the nerve during pelvic or abdominal surgery or focal damage at the femoral triangle due to a difficult femoral line placement. Approximately 4 cm proximal to passing beneath the inguinal ligament, the femoral nerve is covered by a tight fascia at the iliopsoas groove. www.emedicine.com /neuro/topic589.htm   (1270 words)

Neurology Due to the angulation of the saphenous nerve over the sartorius muscle tendon after exiting from the adductor canal, traction on the nerve may be produced by limb movement leading to inflammation, edema, and paresthesia. Mechanisms for production of saphenous nerve neuropathy may be nontraumatic, traumatic, or post-surgical. The infrapatellar branch pierces the sartorius muscle and courses anteriorly to the infrapatellar region. www.chiroweb.com /archives/13/11/04.html   (801 words)

abdomen and lower limb In the lower extremity, the greater saphenous vein should be dissected together with the saphenous nerve in the anterior compartment and the lesser saphenous vein and sural nerve should be dissected in the posterior leg compartment (Netter, Plates 502, 504, 508, 509). For the limbs, ventral rami of spinal nerves from several cord levels unite to form plexuses (brachial and lumbosacral) in which fibers are exchanged. Except on the inferior surface of the diaphragm where the peritoneum is closely attached to the fascia, the fascia lining the abdominal and pelvic cavities is separated from the peritoneum by a layer of extraperitoneal tissue that consists of loose connective tissue and a variable quantity of fat. www2.hawaii.edu /~rosenhei/abdomen.html   (801 words)

VI. The Arteries. 6b. The Popliteal Fossa. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. —The popliteal fossa contains the popliteal vessels, the tibial and the common peroneal nerves, the termination of the small saphenous vein, the lower part of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, the articular branch from the obturator nerve, a few small lymph glands, and a considerable quantity of fat. The tibial nerve descends through the middle of the fossa, lying under the deep fascia and crossing the vessels posteriorly from the lateral to the medial side. The common peroneal nerve descends on the lateral side of the upper part of the fossa, close to the tendon of the Biceps femoris. www.bartleby.com /107/158.html   (801 words)

Varicose Vein Surgery Short Segment Stripping of the Greater Saphenous Vein can be done under femoral nerve block (applying local anaesthetic to the main nerve of the leg) and light sedation; or general anaesthesia (you are asleep). This is done when the groin valve is leaking and the Greater Saphenous Vein is varicose. This entails a 5 cm incision in the groin and a 1 cm incision below the knee removing the vein in-between after ligating the vein at its junction with the Femoral vein. www.banffmedical.com /varicose.htm   (420 words)
