Variant anatomy of the tibial nerve in posterior calf muscles in human fetuses

Abstract

The objective of the study was to establish the features of the intramuscular distribution of nerves in the muscles of the calf in human fetuses aged 4-8 months. Conclusions. The greatest concentration of the nerve branches has been noted in the penetration area and in the central parts of the calf muscles. High branching and penetration of the nerves into the muscles of the calf provides favourable conditions for the transposition of these muscles for plastic purposes.
