The medial cutaneous nerve, before dividing, gives off a few filaments, which pierce the fascia lata, to supply the integument of the medial side of the thigh, accompanying the long saphenous vein. One of these filaments passes through the saphenous opening; a second becomes subcutaneous about the middle of the thigh; a third pierces the fascia ...
Cutaneous innervation of the lower limbs is the nerve supply to areas of the skin of the lower limbs (including the feet) which are supplied by specific cutaneous nerves. Modern texts are in agreement about which areas of the skin are served by which nerves , but there are minor variations in some of the details.
The medial sural cutaneous nerve originates from the posterior aspect of the tibial nerve of the sciatic nerve. [2] [3] It descends between the two heads of the gastrocnemius muscle. [2] [3] Around the middle of the back of the leg, it pierces the deep fascia to become superficial. [3] It unites with the lateral sural cutaneous nerve to form ...
The following structures are contained within the femoral triangle (from lateral to medial): Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh - It crosses the lateral angle of the triangle, runs on the lateral side of the thigh and ends by dividing into anterior and posterior branches. The anterior branch supplies the anterolateral aspect of the thigh while ...
the cutaneous branch of anterior division of the obturator nerve. [ 1 ] At the lower border of the adductor brevis muscle , the cutaneous branch of anterior division of the obturator nerve communicates with the anterior (medial), cutaneous and saphenous branches of the femoral nerve, forming a kind of plexus.
The obturator nerve is responsible for the sensory innervation of the skin of the medial aspect of the thigh. The nerve is also responsible for the motor innervation of the adductor muscles of the lower limb (external obturator, [4] adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis) and the pectineus (inconstant).
Another branch observed, that is mentioned in passing in previous literature is the medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. [3]In a 2021 study by Steele et al. (Annals of Anatomy), a medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve was observed in approximately 36% of lower extremities dissected (n=208) with an average diameter of 1.47 ± 0.655 mm with a 95% CI of 1.31 – 1.625 mm.
The medial compartment of thigh is one of the fascial compartments of the thigh and contains the hip adductor muscles and the gracilis muscle. The obturator nerve is the primary nerve supplying this compartment. The obturator artery is the blood supply to the medial thigh. The muscles in the compartment are: gracilis; adductor longus; adductor ...
