Sural nerve is a frequent location for the biopsy.

This usually is the great auricular nerve or sural nerve.

Laboratory studies, including skin and sural nerve biopsies, failed to show any metabolic disorder.

Previous to its division it gives off articular and lateral sural cutaneous nerves.

The lateral sural cutaneous nerve originates from the Common fibular nerve.

The sural nerve (short saphenous nerve) is a nerve in the leg.

The sural nerve subserves a purely sensory function, and therefore its removal results in only a relatively trivial deficit.

The sural nerve lies within the field and can be harvested as a vascularized nerve transfer with the flap.

Also Lateral sural cutaneous nerve.

It also supplies the skin of the lateral side of the foot and ankle, and communicates with the sural nerve.

The sural nerve is joined by fibres from the common fibular nerve and runs down the calf to supply the lateral side of the foot.

Sural nerve (purple).

Dr. Patten said he favored extensive hospital testing, including biopsies of the bicep muscle and the sural nerve, which runs through the ankle.

In most cases, microneurographic readings use median, ulnar, radial, peronial, tibial, femoral or sural nerves.

Mostly the great auricular nerve or sural nerve is used as a graft between the two facial nerve stumps.

Branches of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve supply the area of the skin paddle and can be harvested to allow innervation of the flap.

The sural arteries (inferior muscular arteries) are two large branches, which are distributed to the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles.

In such cases, presence of clinical characteristics suggestive of CIDP are critical, justifying full investigations, including sural nerve biopsy.

This pathology test is becoming available in select labs as well as many universities; it replaces the traditional sural nerve biopsy test as less invasive.

Frequently some of the lateral branches of the superficial peroneal are absent, and their places are then taken by branches of the sural nerve.

The lateral sural cutaneous nerve (lateral cutaneous branch) supplies the skin on the posterior and lateral surfaces of the leg.

The sural communicating branch of common fibular nerve is a nerve which gives rise to the sural nerve.

- The lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve from the sural nerve turns into a dorsal digital nerve and supplies the lateral side of the fifth toe.

The lateral calcaneal branches of sural nerve are cutaneous nerves of the foot providing sensory innervation to the most lateral aspect of skin of the heel.

Likewise, the sural nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin on the lateral side of the foot as well as the skin on the posterior aspect of the lower leg.
