ObturatorNerve
Anatomy
Theobturatornerveoriginatesfromtheanteriordivisionofthelumbosacralplexusmedialto
thefemoralnerve.Itthenpassesalongthemedialsideofthepsoasmuscle,alongthelateral
pelvicwall,andenterstheobturatorforamen,whereitdividesintotwo.Theanteriordivision
emergesfromtheobturatorcanal,runsovertheobturatorexternus,deeptothepectineus,and
thenpasses betweentheadductorlongusand brevis, where itinnervatesthesemuscles. The
pectineusistypicallyinnervatedbythefemoralnerve,butsometimescanbeinnervatedbythe
obturatornerve.Theobturatornervealsoinnervatesthegracilismuscleandasmallcutaneous
area in the medial thigh. The posterior division of the obturator nerve passes through the
obturatorexternusandthenrunsbetweentheadductorbrevisandtheadductormagnus,where
itinnervatestheobturatorexternus, andtheadductorportionoftheadductormagnus.Italso

ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Neuropathiesoftheobturatornerveareuncommon,butcanoccurfrompelvictrauma,surgery,
orcompressionfrompelvictumors,mostcommonlybladdercancer.Thereisnoevidencethat
entrapment in the obturator foramen occurs. The most common symptoms are pain, leg
adduction weakness, and sensory loss over a small area of the medial thigh. Diagnosis is
clinical,butcanbeconfirmedwithelectrodiagnostictesting.

comes in contact with a hypertrophied piriformis muscle. Common causes of piriformis
syndrome are repetitive movements of the muscles in the gluteal region, which occur with
skating, cycling, or climbing. This diagnosis, however, is one of exclusion and often
controversial.58Cardiac surgeryandintra-aortic balloonpumps canalso beassociatedwith

FemoralNerve
Anatomy
https://t.me/medicina_free

Thefemoralnerveisthelargestnervethatemergesfromthelumbarplexus(rootsL2,L3,and
L4). Itforms inthepsoas muscle, descends betweenthepsoasand iliacusmuscle,andthen
tucksbeneaththe inguinalligament,lateral tothefemoral arteryandvein,toenter thethigh.
Here it innervates several muscles, including the iliacus muscle (hip flexion and internal
rotation),andthequadriceps,whicharekneeextensors(rectusfemoris,vastuslateralis,vastus
intermedius,vastusmedialis). Italso innervates thesartoriusmuscle, whichflexes,abducts,

occurfromhiporpelvicfractures,pelvicmasses,oriliacushematoma.Damagecanalsooccur
after hip replacements, abdominal or pelvic surgeries, inguinal lymph node biopsy, or
childbirth, most likely from compression of the nerve along the inguinal ligament from
prolongedlithotomyposition.

Other mechanisms ofinjuryincludeischemia, toxic injury,
anddirecttransection.
On examination,patients haveweaknessofthe quadriceps musclegroupwithsparingof
adduction(obturatornerve). Ifinnervationtothe iliopsoasmuscle is lost,weaknessmaybe
presentinhipflexion.Sensorylossoccursalongtheanteriorthigh,medialthigh,andextends
downalongthemediallegtothearchofthefoot.Thekneejerk(L4)isgenerallydecreasedor
absent.
Femoral neuropathyis usually a clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, needle EMG canhelp
confirmthediagnosis.Findingsincludeweaknessofmusclesinnervatedbythefemoralnerve,
absence of weakness in muscles innervated by the obturator nerve, and compromised
saphenoussensorynervefunction.
Prognosisforincompletefemoral neuropathyisgenerallygood,withabouttwo-thirdsof
patientsachievingsatisfactorytoexcellentrecoveries.Thesmallerthedegreeofaxonalloss

therapy and appropriate analgesia. If the mechanism of injury is hematoma compression,
drainage may be indicated. If the nerve is damaged directly, as in transection or ligation,
surgicalexplorationandnerverepairorgraftingmaybeconsidered.
LateralFemoralCutaneousNerve
Anatomy
Thelateralfemoralcutaneousnervebranchesdirectlyoffthelumbosacralplexus(L2,L3).It
emergeslateraltothepsoasmuscle,crossestheiliacus,andthenpassesunderneaththelateral
part of the inguinal ligament to enter the thigh. It runs on top of the sartorius muscle and
terminates as cutaneous sensory branches that innervate the lateral thigh. It innervates no
muscles.

ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Thisnerveismostcommonlyinjuredasitpassesbeneaththeinguinalligament,whereitcan
become compressed, causing a syndrome known as meralgia paresthetica. Common risk
factors include obesity, old age, diabetes, pregnancy, and tight-fitting clothing.61 Patients
generallycomplainofparesthesiasandpain,whichradiatedownthelateralthightowardthe
knee.Inseverecases,fixedsensorylossofthelateralthighcanoccur.
Diagnosis is mainly clinical, based on the unique location of paresthesias. Also, there
shouldnotbeweakness,andthereshouldbenosensorylossbelowtheknee.Electrodiagnostic
studies have a limited role, but may show reduced response amplitude ifdamageis severe
enoughtoproduceaxonalloss.62Electrodiagnosticstudiescanalsobeusefultohelpexclude
plexopathyorradiculopathy.
Meralgia paresthetica is usually self-limited. Most patients respond to conservative

TheSuralNerve
The sural nerve originates from the tibial and commonperoneal nerves, carryingcutaneous
sensationfromthelateralaspectoftheankle,heel,andfourthandfifthdigits.Italsomediates
foot proprioception, measures stretch in the Achilles tendon, and provides sensation from
deeper tissues. Traditionally, thesuralnerve is considered a purelysensorynerve, although
