THETHIGH
ObturatorNerve
Anatomy
Theobturatornerveoriginatesfromtheanteriordivisionofthelumbosacralplexusmedialto thefemoralnerve.Itthenpassesalongthemedialsideofthepsoasmuscle,alongthelateral pelvicwall,andenterstheobturatorforamen,whereitdividesintotwo.Theanteriordivision emergesfromtheobturatorcanal,runsovertheobturatorexternus,deeptothepectineus,and thenpasses betweentheadductorlongusand brevis, where itinnervatesthesemuscles. The pectineusistypicallyinnervatedbythefemoralnerve,butsometimescanbeinnervatedbythe obturatornerve.Theobturatornervealsoinnervatesthegracilismuscleandasmallcutaneous area in the medial thigh. The posterior division of the obturator nerve passes through the obturatorexternusandthenrunsbetweentheadductorbrevisandtheadductormagnus,where itinnervatestheobturatorexternus, andtheadductorportionoftheadductormagnus.Italso givesoffcutaneoussupplytotheinferomedialportionofthethigh,justabovetheknee.
ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Neuropathiesoftheobturatornerveareuncommon,butcanoccurfrompelvictrauma,surgery, orcompressionfrompelvictumors,mostcommonlybladdercancer.Thereisnoevidencethat 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,butcanbeconfirmedwithelectrodiagnostictesting.
SciaticNerve
Anatomy
Thesciaticnervearisesfromthelumbosacraltrunkandupperpartofthelumbosacralplexus (L4–S3nerveroots).Itthentravelsdownthewallofthepelvisandentersthethighthroughthe greatersciaticforameninthehip.Inthethigh,itpassesunderthepiriformismuscle,whereitis pronetocompression,andbetweentheischialtuberosityandgreatertrochanterofthefemur, whereitcanbepronetoinjuryfromtrauma.Itterminatesatthesuperiorborderofthepopliteal fossa as the tibial nerve (medial) and common peroneal nerve (lateral). It innervates the hamstringmuscles(longandshortheadofbicepsfemoris,semitendinosus,semimembranosus), whichareallextensorsofthehipexceptthebicepsfemorislonghead,whichisaflexorofthe knee(Fig.6-7A).Italsoinnervatestheadductormagnus,whichaidswithhipextension.Ithas nodirectsensoryinnervationsinthethigh,butitsdistalbranches(tibialandcommonperoneal nerves)providesensationtomostofthelimbbelowtheknee.
ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Theprimarycauseofsciaticneuropathycanoccuraftermechanicaltraumatothehip.Sciatic nerveinjurymostoftenoccursintheglutealregionorareaofsciaticnotch,fromhiptrauma,
https://t.me/medicina_free
fracture,dislocation,andoccasionallyafterhipreplacement.Otherless commonreasonsfor sciaticnerveinjuryintheglutealregionincludeincorrectinjectionstothebuttock(lateralside issafe,medialsideisunsafe,Fig.6-7B),compressionfromprolongedbedrest,andmassor hematomainthepelvicarea.
Piriformissyndromecanalsoinjurethesciaticnerveintheregionofthesciaticnotch,asit 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.58Cardiac surgeryandintra-aortic balloonpumps canalso beassociatedwith sciaticnerveinjury.Morerarely,lesionsofthesciaticnervecanoccuratthemid-thighfroma femurmassorfracture,ornerveinfarction.
Patientstypicallypresent with painshooting downthe posterior aspectofthelegto the foot.Ifthelesionisintheglutealregion,weaknessoccursinthedistributionofthehamstrings (knee flexion), inadditiontothemuscles belowthe knee.If thedamage isinthe mid-thigh, kneeflexionisspared,andweaknessonlyoccursbelowtheknee.Nomatterwherethenerveis injured,thereisalwayssparingofhipflexion,extension,abductionand adduction,andknee extension. Interestingly, the peroneal distributionofthesciatic nerve is often more affected thanthetibialdistribution,despitetheentirenervebeing affected.Sensorylossinvolvesthe entireperoneal,tibial,andsuralterritories.Sensationissparedabovethekneeandbelowthe kneeinthedistributionofthesaphenousnerve(themedialcalfandarchofthefoot).Theknee reflexisspared,whereastheanklereflexisoftenmissing.
Sciatic neuropathy is mainly a clinical diagnosis, but if the damage is severe enough, findingsmaybeseenonEMGandNCS.Sometypicalfindingsincludereducedperonealand sural sensory responses, normal saphenous sensory response, reduced tibial and peroneal motorresponseamplitudes,anddenervation/reinnervationmusclepatterns.
Prognosisinsciaticinjuryisfavorable,withonestudyreportinggoodrecoveryin75%of patients over a 3-year period without treatment. Lack of plantarflexion and dorsiflexion involvementatinitialevaluationisafavorableprognosticsign.

FemoralNerve
Anatomy
https://t.me/medicina_free
Thefemoralnerveisthelargestnervethatemergesfromthelumbarplexus(rootsL2,L3,and L4). Itforms inthepsoas muscle, descends betweenthepsoasand iliacusmuscle,andthen tucksbeneaththe inguinalligament,lateral tothefemoral arteryandvein,toenter thethigh. Here it innervates several muscles, including the iliacus muscle (hip flexion and internal rotation),andthequadriceps,whicharekneeextensors(rectusfemoris,vastuslateralis,vastus intermedius,vastusmedialis). Italso innervates thesartoriusmuscle, whichflexes,abducts, andexternallyrotatesthehip.Itprovidessensationtotheanteriormedialthighviatheanterior cutaneousbranches.Itendsasthesaphenousnerve,whichprovidessensationfromthemedial aspectoftheknee,tothemedialmalleolusandarchofthefoot.
ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Similartosciaticneuropathy,femoralneuropathycanoccurforavarietyofreasons.Because thefemoralnerveisprotectedwithinthepelvis,directcompressionhereisuncommon,butcan occurfromhiporpelvicfractures,pelvicmasses,oriliacushematoma.Damagecanalsooccur 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
prolongedlithotomyposition.
59,60
Other mechanisms ofinjuryincludeischemia, toxic injury,
anddirecttransection.
On examination,patients haveweaknessofthe quadriceps musclegroupwithsparingof adduction(obturatornerve). Ifinnervationtothe iliopsoasmuscle is lost,weaknessmaybe presentinhipflexion.Sensorylossoccursalongtheanteriorthigh,medialthigh,andextends downalongthemediallegtothearchofthefoot.Thekneejerk(L4)isgenerallydecreasedor absent.
Femoral neuropathyis usually a clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, needle EMG canhelp confirmthediagnosis.Findingsincludeweaknessofmusclesinnervatedbythefemoralnerve, absence of weakness in muscles innervated by the obturator nerve, and compromised saphenoussensorynervefunction.
Prognosisforincompletefemoral neuropathyisgenerallygood,withabouttwo-thirdsof patientsachievingsatisfactorytoexcellentrecoveries.Thesmallerthedegreeofaxonalloss onEMG/NCS,thebettertheprognosis.Ingeneral,treatmentissupportive,includingphysical 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, surgicalexplorationandnerverepairorgraftingmaybeconsidered.
LateralFemoralCutaneousNerve
Anatomy
Thelateralfemoralcutaneousnervebranchesdirectlyoffthelumbosacralplexus(L2,L3).It emergeslateraltothepsoasmuscle,crossestheiliacus,andthenpassesunderneaththelateral 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.
https://t.me/medicina_free
ModesofInjury,Diagnosis,Treatment
Thisnerveismostcommonlyinjuredasitpassesbeneaththeinguinalligament,whereitcan become compressed, causing a syndrome known as meralgia paresthetica. Common risk
factors include obesity, old age, diabetes, pregnancy, and tight-fitting clothing.61 Patients generallycomplainofparesthesiasandpain,whichradiatedownthelateralthightowardthe knee.Inseverecases,fixedsensorylossofthelateralthighcanoccur.
Diagnosis is mainly clinical, based on the unique location of paresthesias. Also, there shouldnotbeweakness,andthereshouldbenosensorylossbelowtheknee.Electrodiagnostic studies have a limited role, but may show reduced response amplitude ifdamageis severe
enoughtoproduceaxonalloss.62Electrodiagnosticstudiescanalsobeusefultohelpexclude plexopathyorradiculopathy.
Meralgia paresthetica is usually self-limited. Most patients respond to conservative measuressuchasavoidingtight-fittingclothingorweightloss.However,ifsymptomsrecur,or arerefractory,medicationssuchasgabapentinorcarbamazepinemaybehelpfulforreducing symptomsofneuropathicpain.Morerarely,alocalnerveblockorsurgicaldecompressioncan beconsidered.
THELEG,ANKLE,ANDFOOT
NeuroanatomyoftheLegandFoot
CommonPeronealNerve
Thecommonperonealnerveexitsthepoplitealfossabetweenthebicepsfemoristendonand thelateralheadofgastrocnemius,coursinganterolaterallyacrossthefibularneck.Itthengives offcommunicatingbranchestothesuralnerveandthelateralcutaneousnerveofthecalf.The nervethenpiercestheperoneuslongusmuscleanddividesintodeepandsuperficialbranches. Thedeepperonealnerverunsbetweentheextensordigitorumlongusandtheextensorhallucis longus5cmabovetheanklemortise.Atapproximately1cmabovetheanklejoint,beneaththe extensor retinaculum,the nervedividesintomedialandlateralbranches.The medialbranch travelsparalleltothedorsalispedisartery.Thelateralbranchsuppliesproprioceptivefibers totheanklejointandsensoryfiberstotheroofofthesinustarsi,travelinginafibroustunnel beneaththeextensordigitorumbrevis.Thedeepperonealnerveinnervatesthemusclesofthe anteriorcompartment,includingtibialisanterior,extensorhallucislongus,extensordigitorum
longus, peroneus tertius, and extensor digitorum brevis.63 The superficial peroneal nerve innervatesperoneuslongus,peroneusbrevis, andperoneustertius.Itexitsthedeepfasciaof the leg10to13cmproximal tothetipofthelateralmalleolusandremainssubcutaneous.It thendividesintotheintermediateandmedialdorsalcutaneousnerves.Thesedivisionscarry sensationfromtheanteriorlowerleganddorsumofthefoot.
TheTibialNerve
Thetibialnervepassesthroughthepoplitealfossabelowthearchofthesoleusmuscle.Within thepoplitealfossa,itgivesoffbranchestothegastrocnemius,popliteus,soleus,andplantaris
https://t.me/medicina_free
muscles,aswellastothesuralnerve.Distaltosoleus,thetibialnerveinnervatesthetibialis posterior,flexor digitorum longus, andflexor hallucis longus muscles. Itpasses beneath the medial malleolus,whereitisboundbythe flexorretinaculum inthe “tarsaltunnel.”Hereit dividesintomedialandlateralplantarbranches.Themedialplantarnervepassesbeneaththe insertionoftheabductorhallucisandthentravelswithinconnectivetissueattachingtheflexor hallucisbrevistothetarsalbones.Itinnervatestheabductorhallucis,flexordigitorumbrevis, flexor hallucis brevis muscles, as well as the first lumbrical. Sensation is carried from the medialaspectofthesole,themedialthreeandone-halfdigits,andthenailbeds.Thelateral plantar nerve courses deep tothe insertion oftheabductorhallucis,passingbetweenflexor digitorumbrevis andquadratus plantae.Itinnervatesquadratusplantae,flexordigitiminimi, adductorhallucis,allinterossei,thethreeremaininglumbricals,andtheabductordigitiminimi muscles, and carries cutaneous sensation from the lateral sole and lateral one and one-half digits. Both the medial and lateral plantar nerves divide into interdigital nerves located beneath the transverse metatarsal ligament, terminating at the distal phalanges, and carry sensation from the plantar surfaces and web spaces between the toes. The medial plantar properdigitalnervesuppliestheskinonthemedialaspectofthefirstdigit.

TheSuralNerve
The sural nerve originates from the tibial and commonperoneal nerves, carryingcutaneous sensationfromthelateralaspectoftheankle,heel,andfourthandfifthdigits.Italsomediates foot proprioception, measures stretch in the Achilles tendon, and provides sensation from deeper tissues. Traditionally, thesuralnerve is considered a purelysensorynerve, although electrophysiologicstudieshavedemonstratedmotorfibers.Figure6-10showsthepositionof thesuralnerverelativetotheperonealandtibialnerves.

DiagnosingNerveInjuryintheLegandFoot
Thehistoryshouldincludequestionsaboutthenatureoftheinjuryandanysensorychangeor muscle weakness. Complaintsofburning pain, paresthesias, and numbnesssuggestinjury to small diameter sensory fibers. Allodynia may be present. Dysfunction of large diameter sensory fibers can cause proprioceptive loss and lead to ataxia, tremor, or disequilibrium. Involvementofmotorfibersissuggestedbyweakness.Complaintsofdifficultywalkingora changein appearanceofgait not explainedby painor limitedrange ofmotionshould raise suspicionformotorinjury.Theneurologicexaminationshouldincludeevaluationofsensation, motor function, reflexes, and gait. Abnormalities are more easily identified by comparison with the unaffected limb. The sensory examination should include assessment of pain, temperature,lighttouch,vibratorysensation,andproprioception.Appropriatemappingofthe affected areas localizes to the corresponding nerve. Nerves can also be palpated and percussedtoascertainthesiteofcompressionorentrapment.Elicitingmuscleweaknessisa special challenge when examining patients with acute injuries, because many suffer from severepain.Analgesicsmayfacilitatetheexamination.Inadditiontostrength,musclebulkand tone are assessed. Chronicmotor nerveinjuryleads toatrophy. Weakjoints mayassume an abnormalposition.Themusclesshouldbecloselyinspectedforsignsofdenervation,suchas fasciculations or myokymia. The gait is often revealing. Patients with ankle dorsiflexion weakness excessivelyflexthehip andknee when ambulating inorder toraisethe leg.This compensationallowspassageofthepareticfootthroughtheswingphase.Lackofacontrolled descent of the foot causes a characteristic slapping noise. The resulting appearance of the patientattemptingtostepoveranobjecthasledtotheterm“steppagegait.”
