Search for: [Abstract = "umber of nerve bundles in males. A positive correlation was found between the donors age and the tibial nerve CSA \(r = 0.44, p = 0.000\). A significant statistical difference was found between the medial and lateral plantar nerves both in CSA and number of nerve bundles \( p < 0.001, p < 0.001 respectively\). When comparing nerves collected from the fresh and fresh\-frozen only lateral plantar nerves showed statistical differences in the CSA and the number of nerve bundles \(p = 0.000, p = 0.037 respectively\). Conclusions 1. The tibial nerve and its terminal branches presents anatomical variability in the medial ankle area. 2. The origin, location and division pattern of the medial calcaneal branch\(es\) presents anatomical variability. 3. The CSA and the number of nerve bundles of the tibial, medial plantar and lateral plantar nerves are significantly bigger in males. 4. The medial plantar nerve has larger CSA and more nerve bundles than the lateral plantar nerve. 5. The tibial nerve shows increasing CSA with advanced age. 6. Histological structure of the larger nerves remains uninfluenced by the freezing process."]
