(A) The anatomic landmarks for the femoral window are outlined by black dots. The position of the transducer is represented by a black rectangle for the longitudinal and a white rectangle for the transversal approaches. (B) Longitudinal US image of the ScN (arrow heads). (C) Transverse US image of the ScN. The smaller and more cranial one, representing peroneous communis nerve (full arrow head) and the larger and more caudal the tibialis nerve (open arrow head). (D) Cross-sectional anatomical image of the ScN at this level. The peroneous communis (full arrow head) and tibialis nerve (open arrow head) components of the ScN are observed. TM=trochanter major of os femoris; LCF=condylus lateralis of os femoris (LCF); Bf=biceps femoris muscle; Prox=proximal; Dis=distal; Cr=cranial; Cd=caudal.
