We believe that our study will be useful for better understanding of sciatic nerve development and it may contribute to future studies in obstetrics, orthopedics and fetal pathology. Knowledge of variant formations of the sciatic nerve, its bifurcation level and its relation with neighboring structures may be important for blockade of the nerve in newborn surgeries.
Our study is critically important for implementing successful surgical interventions and minimizing complications especially in ulnar nerve and forearm muscles surgery also in nerve replacement on this area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
