The Proximal Medial Sural Nerve Biopsy Model: A Standardised and Reproducible Baseline Clinical Model for the Translational Evaluation of Bioengineered Nerve Guides
Figure 5
Landmarks for the documentation of sensory reinnervation. Relationship between the site of nerve guide implantation (possible regeneration along the course of the medial sural nerve) and the popliteal crease, insertion of the Achilles tendon (a) and lateral malleolus (b). Note the circumscribed hypesthetic area at the lateral aspect of the foot (c)-(d). This area is also assessed in relation to the lateral malleolus and midlateral point of the fifth metatarsal bone.
