  2. Saphenous nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saphenous_nerve

    The saphenous nerve (long or internal saphenous nerve) is the largest cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve. It is derived from the lumbar plexus (L3-L4). It is a strictly sensory nerve, and has no motor function. It commences in the proximal (upper) thigh and travels along the adductor canal.

  3. Medial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerve

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_crural_cutaneous...

    The medial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerve provide cutaneous innervation to the medial leg. This page was last edited on 18 December 2024 ...

  4. Infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrapatellar_branch_of...

    The infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve is a nerve of the lower limb. [1] The saphenous nerve, located about the middle of the thigh, gives off a branch which joins the subsartorial plexus. It pierces the sartorius and fascia lata, and is distributed to the skin in front of the patella.

  5. Femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_nerve

    Femoral nerve blocks are very effective. [3] During pelvic surgery and abdominal surgery, the femoral nerve must be identified early on to protect it from iatrogenic nerve injury. [4] The femoral nerve stretch test can be performed to identify the compression of spinal nerve roots. [5] The test is positive if thigh pain increases. [5]

  6. Anterior cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cutaneous...

    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 ...

  7. Targeted reinnervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_reinnervation

    Targeted reinnervation has an efferent and an afferent component. Targeted muscle reinnervation is a method by which a spare muscle (the target muscle) of an amputated patient is denervated (its original nerves cut and/or de-activated), then reinnervated with residual nerves of the amputated limb. [1]

  8. Neurovascular bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurovascular_bundle

    During surgery, these neurovascular bundles, both superficial and deep, should be protected in order to prevent neurological damage. A common anatomically informed, surgical technique to avoid damaging neurovascular bundles is to undermine anteriorly to the posterior tibial margin after reaching the fascia, in order to avoid the saphenous vein ...

  9. Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_cutaneous_nerve_of...

    The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh can be studied using ultrasound. [1] A patient lies on a bed facing upwards (supine). [3] The ultrasound probe is moved along the length of the nerve, often starting from near the ASIS. [3] The nerve is easier to see over the sartorius muscle than in other subcutaneous tissue, as there is greater ...
