(A) The picture of sural nerve and medial sural cutaneous nerve. The average lengths of the medial sural cutaneous and sural nerve were 14.3 ± 0.5 (n = 7) and 16.4 ± 0.8 cm (n = 7), respectively. The average of total length was 30.2 ± 0.7 cm (n = 16). Unit of the ruler: cm (B) The width of sural nerve (n = 10) and buccal branch (n = 8) were measured using the photographs by ImageJ software version 1.50 (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) The width of the sural nerve was significantly lower than that of the buccal branch (1.2 ± 0.07 vs. 1.4 ± 0.04 mm respectively. p = 0.0117).
