Lower limb blocks can either be done at the level of the femoral nerve, in the video we just saw that was a femoral nerve block, and that’ll give you an excellent block of the thigh down to the knee and good for post-operative pain...
Proximal femoralnerve lesionsaffecting theiliopsoas musclepresent with weakness of hip flexion, usually with weakness of quadriceps femoris, which when severe leads to total loss of knee extension. This precludes walking. With partial lesions, patients first note difficulty going downstairs, as they are...
Surgery in the pelvis in general has also been implicated in femoral nerve injury and is the most common cause of femoral nerve compression (Pećina et al., 1997). Other surgeries that can damage the nerve are those involving the abdomen and hip, including appendectomies, inguinal hernia ...
However, it was previously impossible to demonstrate the tiny cutaneous nerves, which are less than 1-mm thick, around the knee, and their branches, by means of imaging techniques. Hence, nerve damage could only ever be presumed and treated based on a suspicion. However, should the assumption...

aPain over the front of the knee is common after surgery or trauma but often a definite diagnosis is difficult to make. Over the past year we have seen five cases in which the pain could be ascribed to damage to a branch of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Two were ...
Despite much debate over the outcome of several minimal invasive techniques, complications arising from the use of anterior minimally invasive surgery (AMIS) for THA on a traction table are not well documented. Our study aims to focus on nerve damage during the AMIS procedure and the possible ...
The reparative procedure to transfer the saphenous nerve to the anterior tibial did not yield appreciable results, thus leading to permanent motor damage. Prognosis of sciatic nerve damage following hip replacement surgery: narrative review of the recent literature A promising new technique is ultrasound...
This section is a summary of some important examples of cranial nerve damage. Damage to the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens (cranial nerves 3, 4, and 6) If one of these nerves is damaged, the movement of the two eyes cannot be coordinated. The result is that the affected eye does ...
