“…Little difference with Thiel-fixed cadavers Topp et al (2012) of suitability in some tissue types (Warchoł et al, 2021). This comparison on biomechanical suitability is further supported by other studies that measured the stiffness and elasticity of FFC, Thiel's model, and formalin-fixed model where FFC scored the least stiffness (Hohmann et al, 2019).…”

“…The results indicated statistically significant difference of cross‐sectional area only in lateral plantar nerves in both fresh cadavers and FFCs. A difference in the number of nerve fascicle between medial and lateral plantar nerves were noticed only in FFCs (Warchoł et al, 2021). This study also added subjective analysis between cadaveric models.…”

“…Although fresh cadavers are considered the most suitable, owing to the short availability period, they have limitations in terms of wide and long‐term use. The authors recommended the use of FFCs as they are the most flexible and realistic compared to formalin fixated cadavers and Thiel‐embalmed cadavers, as the former makes tissue stiff and the latter has limitations of suitability in some tissue types (Warchoł et al, 2021). This comparison on biomechanical suitability is further supported by other studies that measured the stiffness and elasticity of FFC, Thiel's model, and formalin‐fixed model where FFC scored the least stiffness (Hohmann et al, 2019).…”

Anatomy functions as the basic discipline of undergraduate medical education and is an essential part of surgical training (Sotgiu et al., 2020). The center of anatomical education is dissection. The importance of dissection courses for both medical students and surgical trainees has been emphasized by numerous studies for many reasons (Korf et al., 2008;Khan & Mirza, 2013;Riederer, 2016). These reasons include the need for actual touching of bodies, visualizing the structures of connected tissues, and enhancing ethics (Korf et al., 2008;Naz et al., 2017).For these reasons, most medical schools worldwide have implemented a cadaver-based curriculum (Habicht et al., 2018). As the need for cadavers has been consistent, various methods and technologies for preserving human cadavers have been studied. This has provided medical schools with numerous models of cadavers that can be chosen for their dissection courses (Brenner, 2014;Hayashi et al., 2016). Most of the developed preparation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ultrasonography cross-sectional area (CSA) reference values of nerves in the upper extremity correlated with electrodiagnosis in healthy Thai adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed. Ninety participants were recruited and their CSA at 10 sites on the median, ulnar, and radial nerves were measured bilaterally. A nerve conduction study (NCS) was conducted and the correlations between the nerve CSA and age, sex, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and NCS parameters were studied. RESULTS The mean CSA ranged from 5.8±1.4 to 9.5±1.5 mm2 along the median nerve and 4.5±0.8 to 7.7±1.7 mm2 along the ulnar nerve. The mean CSAs of the radial nerve at the elbow and spiral groove were 5.0±0.9 and 4.6±0.8 mm2, respectively. The CSA of the median nerve at the wrist and the CSA of the radial nerve at the spiral groove were positively correlated with weight and BMI, whereas the CSA of the median nerve at the elbow was positively correlated only with weight. There was an association between CSA values and electrodiagnosis parameters as the nerve CSA increased, as the latency was prolonged, and as the amplitude decreased. CONCLUSIONS The reference values of nerve CSA in the upper extremity at multiple sites can be helpful in the evaluation of peripheral nerve disorders in the Thai population.

The tibial nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve, which innervates the legs and feet. Anatomical variations of this nerve at the ankle are commonly found. The variation of the tibial nerve in its branching point and cross-sectional area (CSA) at the ankle is commonly related to clinical condition such as foot neuropathy. Knowledge of these variations can support the clinician in making appropriate clinical decisions. This review aims at providing knowledge on the anatomical variations of tibial nerve at ankle, as well as its clinical correlation. This review outlined the variation of the terminal branching point and CSA of the tibial nerve at the ankle in cadaveric and clinical studies.
