Post compartment N
Sciatic (tibial)
Posterior thigh fxn
knee flexion
Sciatic n course
Passes through the greater sciatic foramen, enters gluteal region
Enters the back of the thigh at the lower border of the gluteus maximus
RUns down to popliteal fossa where it divides into tibial and common fibular nerves
Sacral plexus components
L4, L5, S1, 2, 3, part of S4
Sacral plexus main branches
Sciatic (L4 - S3)
Superior gluteal (L4 - S1)
inferior gluteal (L5 - S2)
Nerve branches for deep gluteal
Superior gluteal N course
Enters through greater sciatic foramen, passes above the piriformis
Along with sup. gluteal artery
Inferior gluteal N
enters through greater sciatic foramen, passes below the piriformis
Along with inferior gluteal artery
sup gluteal artery
branch of internal iliacenters through G. sciatic foramen above piriformis
inf gluteal artery
branch of internal iliacenters through G> sciatic foramen below piriformis
Posterior thigh arterial supply
perforating branches of the deep femoral artery
