Femoral nerve entrapment

2005
We present 30 cases of femoral nerve entrapment (1999-2003, age range 35-65 yrs), in 13 patients with diagnosis of idiopathic compression and 7 patients of neurovascular conflict. The compression, in the other 10 patients, was iatrogenic: 3 patients following cardiac catheterization for balloon valvotomy, 2 patients following intra-abdominal vascular ...

Anatomical variation of the femoral nerve in the femoral triangle

Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine, 2019
To the editor, Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block immediately distal to the inguinal ligament at about the inguinal skin crease is a standard regional anesthesia technique for lower extremity surgery.[1 2][1] Performance of the block requires ultrasound identification of the femoral nerve in ...

Femoral nerve repair with nerve autografts

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1977
✓ Two cases of femoral nerve lesions are reported, one in the pelvic region, and one in the femoral triangle. In both cases, secondary microsurgical autografting resulted in a good functional and electrophysiological recovery.

Femoral nerve block in extracapsular femoral neck fractures

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1995
We randomised 50 patients with extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck to receive either a bupivacaine femoral nerve block or systemic analgesia alone. A femoral nerve block was found to be an easy and effective procedure which significantly reduced perioperative analgesic requirements and postoperative morbidity.

SCIATIC AND FEMORAL NERVE BLOCK

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1952
One of the most useful yet most neglected anesthetic procedures is the combination of sciatic and femoral nerve block. The physician who treats a large number of diabetics or patients with minor or major accidental injuries of the legs will find this block most useful. The technique of a satisfactory sciatic-femoral nerve block is simple to master, and

Femoral nerve blocks

Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 2003
Abstract Peripheral nerve blocks can provide high-quality anesthesia and analgesia after unilateral lower-extremity surgery. Lower-extremity nerve blocks, though underused, have significant advantages to central neuraxial techniques, especially in the ambulatory setting.

Femoral neuropathy from inadvertent suturing of the femoral nerve

Neurology, 1996
Femoral neuropathy (FN) is a well-described complication of abdominal hysterectomy done through a Pfannenstiel incision. [1-5] Compression of the femoral nerve by a self-retaining retractor is thought to be causative, so careful positioning and padding of the retractor is advocated for prevention.

[Effect of continuous femoral nerve catheter length on blockade of femoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve].

Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences, 2014
To assess the effects of length of continuous femoral catheter on blockade of femoral nerve, lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and obturator nerve.In the study, 70 patients with American Association of Anesthesiologist grades I-II undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into three groups, femoral nerve catheters were inserted 5 cm, 10 ...
