  • The iliacus is innervated by the femoral nerve, while the psoas major is innervated by the anterior rami of L1-3. (picmonic.com)
  • Expected distribution of lateral femorocutaneous nerve sensory block. (nysora.com)
  • This block requires anesthetization of 5 nerves for complete sensory block below the ankle. (medscape.com)
  • This can be performed with either antidromic (conduction against the direction of sensory fiber conduction) or orthodromic (conduction in the direction of nerve conduction) methods. (bizwan.com)
  • The most commonly used technique is the administration of local anesthetics in close proximity to the sciatic (SN) and femoral nerve (FN) in order to provide motor and sensory blockade of the two main nerves of the hind limb. (openveterinaryjournal.com)
  • The lateral femoral branch is purely sensory. (iiab.me)
  • It is formed by the divisions of the first four lumbar nerves (L1-L4) and from contributions of the subcostal nerve (T12), which is the last thoracic nerve . (iiab.me)
  • We excluded patients with a history of previous surgery on the affected hip or surgical repair of femoral neck fracture ( Figure 1 ). (sicot-j.org)
