Abstract:
The sources of blood supply of the human sciatic nerve were investigated in 32 nerves from 28 cadavers (16 men and 12 women). It was shown that the sciatic nerve is supplied by 4-8 nutrient arteries arising from inferior gluteal, medial circumflex femoral, perforating and popliteal arteries.
