title: [The nerve of the posterior muscle of the leg].
abstract: The nerve of the musculus tibialis posterior was dissected to prepare its elective neuroclasia in a girl with cerebral palsy. Numerous variations relative to the other branches in the neighbourhood were proved, but one may conclude that the origin of this branch from the nervus tibialis at the level of the arcus tendineus musculi solei, as the apparent termination on the muscle's surface are the most proximal of the branches for the deep muscles of the leg. The surgical approach prohibits a complete dissection and it was only the electrical stimulation which identified the nerve with certainty.
