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]
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 intermediate cutaneous nerve (middle cutaneous nerve) pierces the fascia lata (and generally the sartorius) about 7.5 cm below the inguinal ligament, and divides into two branches which descend in immediate proximity along the forepart of the thigh, to supply the skin as low as the front of the knee.
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 ...
The posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh provides sensory innervation to most of [2] the posterior surface of the thigh (upper leg), [2] [1] and the superior [1] part of the posterior surface of the leg (lower leg), [2] [1] as well as (the inferior part of) the gluteal region (via inferior cluneal nerves, derived from anterior rami of S1-S2 ...
The reflex utilizes sensory and motor fibers from two different nerves. When the inner thigh is stroked, sensory fibers of the ilioinguinal nerve are stimulated. These activate the motor fibers of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve which causes the cremaster muscle to contract and elevate the testis. [2]: 262
Usually, in this case, motor function of the lower leg will not be impaired. This is a key distinction between saphenous nerve neuropathy and lower back radiculopathy. Saphenous nerve neuropathy only demonstrates sensory alterations, while lumbar radiculopathy will affect the motor, sensory, and deep tendon reflexes of the lower leg. [6]
