Anatomical location of the bifurcation of the sciatic nerve in the posterior thigh in infants and children: a formula derived from MRI imaging for nerve localization.
Sciatic nerve block is performed at the popliteal fossa for various surgical procedures in infants and children. The aim of this study is to review magnetic resonance imaging scans in children of various ages to assess the location of the division of the nerve in the posterior thigh. ⋯ We speculate that this knowledge will assist practitioners who use nerve stimulation techniques for sciatic nerve blocks in children of all ages.
