Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA

The aim of this study is to re-define the anatomical structures which are important for blocking the sciatic nerve and the nerves within the adductor canal which innervate the knee joint through the same injection site. We also aimed to investigate the spread of the anesthetic toward the areas in which the mentioned nerves lie on cadavers. ⋯ Blocking the sciatic nerve and the nerves within the adductor canal which innervate the knee joint through the same injection site seems anatomically possible without injuring any neurovascular structures.
