Comparing the Distances of Different Intramuscular Gluteal Injection Sites to the Sciatic Nerve
Introduction: Sciatic nerve injury is a well-known complication of
intra-muscular gluteal muscle injections. Affected individuals usually
present with foot drop and this results in varying degrees of motor
disability. There are different sites such as ventrogluteal,
