(A) The anatomic landmarks for the poplitea 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. The peroneous communis (full arrow head) and the tibialis nerve (open arrow head). (C) Transverse US image and (D) Cross-sectional anatomical image of the ScN at popliteal level. The two components of the ScN, the peroneous communis (full arrow head) located more cranial and tibialis nerve (open arrow head) more caudal. TM=trochanter major of os femoris; LCF=condylus lateralis of os femoris; Prox=proximal; Dis=distal; Cr=cranial; Cd=caudal.
