Abstract
Entrapment of the sciatic nerve is considered a challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. Many surgical interventions (open or endoscopic) have been described as treatments. We describe an endoscopic technique for release of the piriformis tendon and sciatic nerve exploration by the lateral approach through an incision on the iliotibial band.
