Femoral nerve

Femoral nerve entrapment is the pinching of the femoral nerve at some point along its course. Most often, that occurs at...

The femoral nerve block is one of the most clinically applicable nerve block techniques that it is relatively simple to perform, carries a low risk of complications, and results in a high success rate.

This is the first of a three part series on cervical radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy occurs when the cervical nerve roots are compressed resulting in pain, paraesthesia, and weakness into the upper extremity. The first step in making this clinical diagnosis is understanding dermatomal pain pat

Adductor canal _01

Meralgia paresthetica is a condition characterized by tingling, numbness and burning pain in the outer part of your thigh. The condition is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which supplies sensation to your upper leg.

Femoral Nerve Stretch Test is a way of eliciting root stretch in the evaluation of high lumbar radiculopathy. As noted, the straight leg raising test and its variants do not place significant tension on the nerve roots above L5. Although compression of the upper lumbar nerve roots is not common, it does occur. Herniations of the L3–L4 disc commonly compress the L4 nerve root. The femoral nerve stretch test is designed to assess compression of the L2, L3, or L4 nerve roots. See Also…

Femoral Nerve Anatomy and Neuralgia

Femoral nerve pain occurs as a result of damage to the femoral nerve, resulting in loss of sensation and movement in the legs.

The femoral nerve is located in the leg and supplies the muscles that help straighten the leg. It supplies sensation to the front of the thigh and part of the lower leg. One risk of damage to the femoral
