Bilateral Piriformis Syndrome with Surgical Release - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This stock medical exhibit demonstrates the surgical release of bilateral piriformis syndrome using four images. The first image, a posterior view, shows the pre-operative condition where the piriformis muscle is constricting the sciatic nerve. The second graphic depicts bilateral incisions over the greater trochanters. The next image demonstrates the cutting of the piriformis tendon with cautery, releasing the muscle. Finally, the post-operative condition can be seen with the piriformis tendons cut and the sciatic nerves free of constriction.
