Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh - labeled as "lateral femoral cutaneous" (pink) Anterior cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve (yellow) Cutaneous branch of the obturator nerve (yellow region, not designated with its own section) Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh (green)
Meralgia paresthetica or meralgia paraesthetica is pain or abnormal sensations in the outer thigh not caused by injury to the thigh, but by injury to a nerve which provides sensation to the lateral thigh. Meralgia paresthetica is a specific instance of nerve entrapment. [5] The nerve involved is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN).
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 ...
The inner thigh muscles (A.K.A. your adductors) are key players when it comes to keeping your hips and lower back in a neutral position, which helps prevent the back from overarching *and* the ...
The saphenous nerve, about the middle of the thigh, gives off a branch which joins the subsartorial plexus. At the medial side of the knee it gives off a large infrapatellar branch, which pierces the sartorius muscle and fascia lata. [2] It is distributed to the skin in front of the patella. [4] [2]
The fascia lata is the strong and deep fascia of the thigh that surrounds the thigh muscles and forms the outer limits of the compartments. Internally the muscle compartments are divided by the lateral and medial intermuscular septa. The three groups of muscles contained in the compartments have their own nerve supply: [1]
In the thigh, the nerve lies in a groove between iliacus muscle and psoas major muscle, outside the femoral sheath, and lateral to the femoral artery. After a short course of about 4 cm in the thigh, the nerve is divided into anterior and posterior divisions, separated by lateral femoral circumflex artery. The branches are shown below: [1]
