It appears that in the damp, cold climate of Scotlandsciatica is especially prevalent, and rebellious to other thansurgical treatment. We have searched for abnormal adhesionsin the cases operated on by us without making sure of theirpresence, which is a difficult thing to decide. In every case,of course, whether adhesions are found or not, the nerveis stretched with the finger in the manner already described(page 447). THE INTERNAL POPLITEAL NERVE This nerve, the larger of the two divisions of the great sciatic,continues the direction of the main trunk, passes through the middle. \TERZI.\ PLATE XXIV.—THE GLUTEAL REGION AFTER REMOVAL OF THEGLUTEUS MAXIMUS, SHOWING THE RELATIONS OF THE SCIATIC NERVE, ETC.
