Anatomical and anthropometric predictors of femoral and saphenous nerve location for ultrasound guided procedures
Anthropometric variables, especially subcutaneous tissue thickness and limb circumferences, are reliable predictors of FN and SN depth in healthy subjects. These findings support the use of simple anatomical measures to improve planning and safety in ultrasound-guided procedures.
