Sonographic imaging of the sciatic nerve and its division in the popliteal fossa in children

Background:  High resolution ultrasound is a possible option for anesthetists to detect nerves. We tested the possibility of imaging the sciatic nerve and its division into the tibial and peroneal part using high resolution ultrasound in children.
