Scarpa's nerve

The scarpi nerve belongs to the medial group of nerves of the foot. In Latin, the term nerve comes from the Latin word "scalp", which means "thorn". The second term is “clutch”, translated as “leg, foot”. Thus, the nerve in traumatology and orthopedics was given exactly this name.

It is necessary to know the symptoms of nerve damage in order to eliminate it in a timely manner. This is the main task for doctors, because if you delay therapy, there can be serious complications. In this case, only a surgeon can help.

Thus, the nerve fiber regulates the activity of certain muscle groups responsible for the tone of the foot as a whole. As a result, when it is dysfunctional, compression of the muscles in the posterior region may occur. This is a very dangerous condition, since the weight of the body when working on the legs falls on them. This is why it is better to visit a qualified neurologist as early as possible to avoid serious complications.
