Practical human anatomy [electronic resource] : a working-guide for students of medicine and a ready-reference for surgeons and physicians . surface uppermost; placeblocks under the pelvis, thigh, and ankle, respectively ; secure the foot at aright angle to the leg. Term§ of Relation.—Proximal (toward the trunk), distal(from the trunk), inner side, outer side, anterior surface, andposterior surface will be used to indicate the relations of parts. Bone Areas, Plate 83.—The posterior surface of the calca-neum, the astragalus, the tibia, the fibula, and thedistal end of the femur form the osseous plane ofthis dissection ; with the exception of the astrag-alus, all these bones afford attachments to musclespresenting in this dissection. Dissection.—Make the skin incisions 1, 2, and 3 of Figure7, and reflect lateral flaps as indicated. When the dissection ofthe posterior surface of the leg is consecutive to that of the an-terior, the skin flaps will have to be removed. Determine thesaphenous veins and nerves. 1. Subcutaneous Tissue, Plate 84.—This planeof tissue presents the ramifications of superficialveins and 2. External Saphenous Vein.—At about themiddle of the leg this vein perforates the fascia ; itruns, through the distal half of the dissection area,to the external malleolus, where it passes, distal tothe same, into the minim half of the dorsal surface of the foot(page 124 ; Plate 69). Figure 7. 152 LOWER EXTREMITY. 3. Internal Saphenous Vein.—This vessel appears, for ashort distance, along the inner side of the proximal third ofthe leg. 4. External Saphenous Nerve.—The inner and onter rootsof this nerve perforate the fascia, distal to the point of emer-gence of the external saphenous vein, and unite to form thenerve proper ; it accompanies the latter vein. 5. Internal Saphenous Nerve.—This nerve sends branchesto the inner half of the posterior area of the leg. 6. Small Sciatie Nerve.—Branches of this nerve perforatethe fascia in the pop
