Background: Entrapment or injury of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is being recognized with increasing frequency, often requiring a surgical approach to relieve symptoms. The presence of anatomic variations can lead to errors in diagnosis and intraoperative decision-making.
Methods: This study presents the experience of a single surgeon (T.

Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a painful condition caused by damage or constriction of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). This entrapment condition typically arises due to various factors, including trauma, pelvic tumors, external compression from belts or snug attire, and weight gain. The prognosis is generally favorable since most cases are self-limiting or respond to conservative treatment.

Background: The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is derived from the dorsal branches of the L2 and L3 spinal nerves. It travels across the pelvis and heads towards the anterior superior iliac spine. It passes under the lateral part of the inguinal ligament and then divides into two branches, which are responsible for sensory innervation of the anterolateral and lateral skin of the thigh.

Bilateral femoral neuropathy is rare, especially that caused by bilateral compressive iliopsoas, psoas, or iliacus muscle hematomas. We present a case of bilateral femoral neuropathy due to spontaneous psoas hematomas developed during COVID-19 critical illness. A 41-year-old patient developed COVID-19 pneumonia, and his condition deteriorated rapidly.

The femoral and obturator nerves both arise from the L2, L3, and L4 spinal nerve roots and descend into the pelvis before emerging in the lower limbs. The femoral nerve's primary function is knee extension and hip flexion, along with some sensory innervation to the leg. The obturator nerve's primary function is thigh adduction and sensory innervation to a small area of the medial thigh.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. Notably, various pain control strategies, a femoral nerve block (FNB) with a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCNB), adductor canal block (ACB) with LFCNB, or periarticular cocktail injection (PI), have been investigated. However, no studies compare the effects of FNB with LFCNB, ACB with LFCNB, and PI for pain control after ACL reconstruction.

Meralgia Paresthetica (MP) causes outer thigh discomfort, numbness, and tingling. Compression or injury to the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN), which gives sensory innervation to outer aspect of the thigh. It frequently gets impinged beneath the inguinal ligament resulting in in sensory impairment in the distribution of LFCN.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy caused by the duplication of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22), leading to muscle weakness and loss of sensation in the hands and feet. A recent case-only genome-wide association study of CMT1A patients conducted by the Inherited Neuropathy Consortium identified a strong association between strength of foot dorsiflexion and variants in signal induced proliferation associated 1 like 2 (SIPA1L2), indicating that it may be a genetic modifier of disease. To validate SIPA1L2 as a candidate modifier and to assess its potential as a therapeutic target, we engineered mice with deletion of exon 1 (including the start codon) of the Sipa1l2 gene and crossed them to the C3-PMP22 mouse model of CMT1A.

Purpose: To illustrate MRI findings in patients with femoral neuropathy following anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients who underwent MRI for femoral neuropathy following anterior approach THA between January 1, 2010, and July 1, 2022. Included patients had no preexisting neurologic condition.

Objective: To assess a potential efficacy signal, safety and feasibility of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) therapy as an adjunct to standard care in patients with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN).
Methods: In this single-centre, prospective, cohort, proof-of-concept study, 25 patients with DSPN consented to at least one daily 30-minute NMES therapy session (Revitive® IX) for 10 weeks, with 20 patients completing the study. The primary outcome measure was nerve conductivity assessed using a nerve conduction study of the sural, superficial peroneal, common peroneal and tibial nerves at 10 weeks compared to baseline.

Complications following lateral retroperitoneal transpsoas lumbar fusion (LLIF) surgery include femoral nerve apraxia, bowel/bladder injury, ureteral injury, and potentially, as illustrated in this case report, Guillain-Barré syndrome. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune inflammatory condition that typically presents after infection, or, less frequently, post-operatively. We report a case of GBS following elective lumbar fusion through the lateral retroperitoneal transpsoas approach (LLIF).

Meralgia paresthetica is a neurological disorder characterized by a symptom complex of numbness, burning, tingling, aching, or stabbing in the anterolateral portion of the upper thigh. Typically, this disorder is seen in patients with diabetes mellitus, obesity, and pregnancy. Also, it may result from a wide array of surgical interventions involving the region of the anterior superior iliac spine.

Background: Infrapatellar neuropathy arises from traumatic, iatrogenic, or compression injury to the infrapatellar branch (IB) of the saphenous nerve. The risk of infrapatellar neuropathy has been shown to depend on the IB's anatomical course. The infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (ISBN) has been discovered to take varying courses, and the IB can emerge directly from the femoral nerve.

Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a disorder of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve mononeuropathy caused by entrapment or compression of the nerve. It is characterized by numbing, tingling, and burning pain in the lateral aspect of the thigh. The current treatments for MP include conventional medical management, peripheral nerve blocks, and surgical interventions.

Background And Objective: Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) decompression and transposition are surgical treatment options for meralgia paresthetica. Identifying the LFCN during surgery may be challenging, and preoperative localization is a valuable adjunct in this case. The objective of this study was to explore a new technique using preoperative ultrasound-guided clip localization (USCL) of the LFCN.
