Abstract
|
|
|
|
Peripheral nerves of the lower extremities are often encountered during preoperative venous ultrasound examination or venous procedures. Nerves are not a region of interest in routine practice, but basic knowledge of their course and sonographic appearance is helpful in evaluating nonsaphenous reflux or avoiding nerve damage during surgery. Knowledge of the anatomy and scanning technique is required to accurately detect the location of nerves. In this review, we present a brief description of the ultrasonographic anatomy of peripheral nerves and the clinical significance of venous interventions.
