  2. Lumbar plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_plexus

    Additionally, the ventral rami of the fourth lumbar nerve pass communicating branches, the lumbosacral trunk, to the sacral plexus. The nerves of the lumbar plexus pass in front of the hip joint and mainly support the anterior part of the thigh. [1] The plexus is formed lateral to the intervertebral foramina and passes through psoas major.

  3. Iliohypogastric nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliohypogastric_nerve

    The lateral cutaneous branch ("iliac branch") pierces the internal oblique muscles and the external oblique muscles immediately above the iliac crest. [4] It is distributed to the skin of the gluteal region, behind the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve; the size of this branch bears an inverse proportion to that of the lateral cutaneous branch of the subcostal nerve.

  4. Iliopsoas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliopsoas

    A short and tight iliopsoas often presents as externally rotated legs and feet. It can cause pain in the low or mid back, SI joint, hip, groin, thigh, knee, or any combination. The iliopsoas gets innervation from the L2-4 nerve roots of the lumbar plexus which also send branches to the

  5. Nerve to obturator internus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_to_obturator_internus

    The nerve to obturator internus (also known as the obturator internus nerve [citation needed]) is a mixed (sensory and motor) [1] nerve providing motor innervation to the obturator internus muscle and gemellus superior muscle, [2] [1] and sensory innervation to the hip joint. [1] It is a branch of the sacral plexus. It is one of the group of ...

  6. Magnetic resonance neurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_neurography

    The most significant impact of magnetic resonance neurography is on the evaluation of the large proximal nerve elements such as the brachial plexus (the nerves between the cervical spine and the underarm that innervate shoulder, arm and hand), [9] the lumbosacral plexus (nerves between the lumbosacral spine and legs), the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, [10] as well as other nerves such as the ...

  7. Psoas major muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psoas_major_muscle

    The psoas major is divided into a superficial and a deep part. The deep part originates from the transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae L1–L5. The superficial part originates from the lateral surfaces of the last thoracic vertebra, lumbar vertebrae L1–L4, and the neighboring intervertebral discs. The lumbar plexus lies between the two ...

  8. Lateral rotator group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_rotator_group

    All muscles in the lateral rotator group originate from the hip bone and insert on to the upper extremity of the femur. The muscles are innervated by the sacral plexus (L4-S2), except the obturator externus muscle, which is innervated by the lumbar plexus. [2]

  9. Lumbosacral trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbosacral_trunk

    The lumbosacral trunk is formed by the union of the entire anterior ramus of lumbar nerve L5 and a part of L4 [clarification needed]. [1] [2] [3] L4 first issues its branches to the lumbar plexus, then emerges from the medial border of the psoas muscle [3] to unite with the anterior ramus of L5 just superior to the pelvic brim to form the thick, cord-like trunk which [4] crosses the pelvic ...
