Morphologic and morphometric bilateral analysis and sexual dimorphism in sciatic nerves of adult cadaveric specimens in Uganda
Most of the examined SNs showed normal anatomical characteristics with rare cases of sex-related dimorphism in the termination level and morphometry (length and diameter) of the nerve. The observed sexual dimorphisms in sciatic nerves are of clinical and surgical interest; hence, suggesting the need for further investigations in different populations, especially using advanced techniques such as ultrasonography anatomic techniques.
