El nervio ciático sale de la pelvis y entra en la  región glútea debajo del  músculo piriforme como un único tronco. Tiene dos componentes: el nervio peroneo común y el  nervio tibial. La relación variable del nervio ciático con el músculo piriforme y su longitud hace que el nervio sea vulnerable a las lesiones. Estudiamos la relación variable del nervio ciático en sesenta extremidades inferiores de treinta cadáveres y encontramos el nervio ciático emergiendo indiviso por debajo del músculo piriforme en el 68,33% de los casos, pero en el 31,66% el nervio ciático estaba dividido arriba en la pelvis. En el 18,33% de los casos el componente peroneo común emergió arriba y en el 13,33% de los casos emergió a través del  músculo piriforme. Pensamos que tener un conocimiento adecuado sobre la anatomía del  nervio ciático es bueno para los resultados clínicos.  Sciatic nerve leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region below the piriformis muscle as single trunk. It has two components common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve. The variable relationship of sciatic nerve with the piriformis muscle and its long course makes the nerve vulnerable to injury. We studied sciatic nerve variable relation in sixty lower extremities of thirty cadavers and found the sciatic nerve emerging undivided below the piriformis muscle in 68.33% of cases but in 31.66% the sciatic nerve divided high in the pelvis. In 18.33% cases the common peroneal component emerged above and in 13.33% of cases it emerged through the piriformis muscle. We think proper knowledge of the anatomy of the sciatic nerve is good for clinical outcomes

This clinical note describes a 47-year-old man who had a traumatic amputation of the left lower leg. Two months after wearing a Kondylen Bettung Miinster (KMB) prosthesis, he developed a compression neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve of his right leg after sitting cross-legged. This troublesome complication can be avoided by giving accurate information to the patient.

The sciatic nerve has a long course right from the pelvis to the apex of the popliteal fossa. The point of division of the sciatic nerve into tibial and common peroneal nerves is very variable. The variation in the division of the sciatic nerve described in the present study should be helpful for anaesthetists and orthopaedic surgeons. While doing the dissection and teaching of the gluteal region in the Post Graduate Department of Anatomy, government medical college, Jammu, it was found that on the left side tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve were present instead of sciatic nerve. It meant that the main nerve that is the sciatic nerve had already been divided into its terminal branches in the pelvis region. Both tibial and common peroneal nerve were seen coming out of the pelvis below the piriformis muscle, while on the right side there were no variation. The sciatic nerve was seen coming out of the pelvis below the piriformis muscle as usual. Because of this high division of the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, there are many complications like failed sciatic nerve block during anaesthesia while performing surgery, but high division of the sciatic nerve may result in escape of either tibial nerve or common peroneal nerve. The gluteal region, back of the thigh and leg of the lower limb were dissected to study further course of tibial nerve and the common peroneal nerve. Photographs were also taken.
