Abstract

Variability of Tibial nerve branching patterns with regard to the tarsal tunnel and malleolar-calcaneal axis has been established in a limited number of cadaveric studies with relatively few subjects. The current study used high-resolution ultrasonography to investigate tibial nerve branching variability, in-vivo, from a large number of healthy subjects.
