The sural nerve (L4-S1) is a cutaneous sensory nerve of the posterolateral calf with cutaneous innervation to the distal one-third of the lower leg. [1] Formation of the sural nerve is the result of either anastomosis of the medial sural cutaneous nerve and the sural communicating nerve, or it may be found as a continuation of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve [2] traveling parallel to the ...
She originated the term sural nerve complex to fully encompass all contributions to the terminally named sural nerve (and later lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve). Further research would go on to use the sural nerve complex terminology to discuss the lateral sural cutaneous nerve, the medial sural cutaneous nerve, the sural communicating nerve and ...
Another branch observed, that is mentioned in passing in previous literature is the medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. [3]In a 2021 study by Steele et al. (Annals of Anatomy), a medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve was observed in approximately 36% of lower extremities dissected (n=208) with an average diameter of 1.47 ± 0.655 mm with a 95% CI of 1.31 – 1.625 mm.
The diameter (at the medial sural cutaneous nerve origin) is found to be 2.74mm ± 0.93 (2.62–2.86) in 207 samples. Two new variations (as of 2021) of the sural nerve complex were observed where the MSCN is observed to travel to the lateral ankle and provides the branches for the lateral calcaneal nerves of the lateral ankle.
The sural communicating nerve (SCN) (peroneal communicating branch of the common fibular nerve) is a separate and independent nerve from both the medial and lateral sural cutaneous nerves, often arising from a common trunk of the common fibular nerve [1] [2] The primary purpose of the sural communicating branch is to provide the structural path for transferring tibial nerve fascicular ...
Common fibular nerve (blue) - labeled as "peroneal nerve". Also Lateral sural cutaneous nerve. Saphenous nerve (pink), a branch of the femoral nerve. Superficial fibular nerve (yellow) - labeled as "superficial peroneal nerve". Also Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve. Sural nerve (brown). Also Medial sural cutaneous nerve.
The lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve is the continuation/terminal sensory branch of the sural nerve, and is ultimately derived from the 1st sacral nerve (S1). It passes distally along the lateral part of the dorsum of foot .
