Computer-assisted measurements of the histological structure of the tibial nerve and its terminal branches.

CONCLUSIONS: The CSA and the number of nerve bundles in the distal part of the tibial nerve and its branches are significantly bigger in males with no differences between right and left foot of the individual. The tibial nerve shows increasing CSA with advanced age. The medial plantar nerve has larger CSA and more nerve bundles than the lateral plantar nerve.
