Abstract:
The relation of the sciatic nerve to piriform muscle in 430 sides of Chinese adult cadavers showed 7 types. In 60.5% the sciatic nerve passes out underneath the piriform muscle. In 29.5% of the remaining 39.5%, the common peroneal nerve goes, instead of beneath, through the piriform muscle. So far as the percentages of distribution of the various types are concerned, no side or sex difference is found; however, the racial difference between the Chinese and Japan-ese on the one hand and the Europeans and Americans on the other is quite clear.
