Abstract
Hamstring muscles which arise from ischial tuberosity are supplied by muscular branches from tibial part of
sciatic nerve, while short head of biceps femoris is supplied by common peroneal part of sciatic nerve. During Bilateral
lower limb dissection of formalin preserved 45 year old male cadaver in the Post-graduate Department of Anatomy
Government Medical College Srinagar we came across a case where the hamstring muscles arising from ischial
tuberosity including the ischial part of adductor magnus were supplied by a common nerve arising below piriformis
medial to the main sciatic nerve.
