Efficacy of continuous catheter analgesia of the sciatic nerve after total knee arthroplasty

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2015
PURPOSE: This study investigated and compared the outcomes after continuous femoral nerve block alone, continuous femoral nerve analgesia combined with single-shot sciatic nerve analgesia, and continuous femoral and sciatic nerve analgesia in ...

Application of Supercharge End-to-Side (SETS) Obturator to Femoral Nerve Transfer in Electrical Injury-Induced Neuropathy to Improve Knee Extension

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2022
Femoral nerve injuries are devastating injuries that lead to paralysis of the quadriceps muscles, weakening knee extension to prohibit ambulation. We report a devastating case of electrical injury-induced femoral neuropathy, where no apparent site of ...

Knotted Femoral Nerve Catheter [PDF]

Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, 2004
We describe a case of knotting of a femoral nerve catheter which prevented removal by traction after knee replacement surgery. In this context, early surgical removal should be performed as bacterial colonization of femoral catheters is common. Radiological imaging of the catheter may assist decision-making about whether to persist with traction and ...

Reduction of the incidence of development of venous thromboembolism by ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block in total knee arthroplasty [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011
BackgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) and the subsequent development of pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of post-operative mortality in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Anomalous Higher Branching Pattern of the Femoral Nerve: a Case Report with Clinical Implications

Acta Medica, 2007
The femoral nerve usually divides into anterior and posterior branches below the inguinal ligament. In the present case, we report the anomalous higher branching pattern of the femoral nerve on both sides of a 52 year male cadaver.

Peripheral nerve block (FLOS block) for intraoperative anesthesia in total knee arthroplasty: An observational study

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU, 2021
Background: Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are generally used to provide postoperative analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and other lower extremity procedures; these blocks are used rarely for intraoperative anesthesia.

The relative analgesic value of a femoral nerve block versus adductor canal block following total knee arthroplasty: a randomized, controlled, double-blinded study [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Multiple comparative studies report that adductor canal blocks provide similar pain relief to femoral nerve blocks following total knee arthroplasty.

The course of recovery of locomotor function over a 10‐week observation period in a rat model of femoral nerve resection and autograft repair

Brain and Behavior, 2020
Background A great extent of knowledge on peripheral nerve regeneration has been gathered using the rat sciatic nerve model. The femoral nerve model of the rat offers an interesting alternative, as it lacks disadvantageous features such as automutilation.

Emergency physician-performed ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in proximal femoral fractures provide safe and effective pain relief: a prospective observational study in The Netherlands

International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Background The treatment of acute pain in the emergency department is not always optimal. Peripheral nerve blocks using “blind” or nerve stimulator techniques have substantial disadvantages.

Iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury due to cerclage wiring for proximal periprosthetic femoral fracture: A rare case report

JPRAS Open, 2022
Summary: Cerclage wiring is used to reinforce the stability of fractures and optimize plate fixations for femoral fractures such as periprosthetic fractures. However, cerclage wiring requires attention to neurovascular structures to prevent injuries.
