The saphenous nerve (long or internal saphenous nerve) is the largest cutaneous branch of the femoral nerve. It is derived from the lumbar plexus (L3-L4). It is a strictly sensory nerve, and has no motor function. It commences in the proximal (upper) thigh and travels along the adductor canal.
The femoral nerve is the major nerve supplying the anterior compartment of the thigh. It is the largest branch of the lumbar plexus, and arises from the dorsal divisions of the ventral rami of the second, third, and fourth lumbar nerves (L2, L3, and L4).
The anterior branch runs downward on the sartorius, perforates the fascia lata at the lower third of the thigh, and divides into two branches: one supplies the integument as low down as the medial side of the knee; the other crosses to the lateral side of the patella, communicating in its course with the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve.
Common fibular nerve (blue) - labeled as "peroneal nerve". Also Lateral sural cutaneous nerve. Saphenous nerve (pink), a branch of the femoral nerve. Superficial fibular nerve (yellow) - labeled as "superficial peroneal nerve". Also Medial dorsal cutaneous nerve. Sural nerve (brown). Also Medial sural cutaneous nerve.
Removal of the saphenous vein will not materially hinder normal circulation in the leg. The blood that previously flowed through the saphenous vein will change its course of travel. This is known as collateral circulation. The saphenous nerve that runs with the upper part of the great saphenous vein is a branch of the femoral nerve. It can be ...
the cutaneous branch of anterior division of the obturator nerve. [1] At the lower border of the adductor brevis muscle, the cutaneous branch of anterior division of the obturator nerve communicates with the anterior (medial), cutaneous and saphenous branches of the femoral nerve, forming a kind of plexus. It then descends upon the femoral ...
The medial crural cutaneous branches of saphenous nerve provide cutaneous innervation to the medial leg. This page was last edited on 18 December 2024, at 17:25 (UTC) ...
The infrapatellar branch of saphenous nerve is a nerve of the lower limb. [1] The saphenous nerve, located about the middle of the thigh, gives off a branch which joins the subsartorial plexus. It pierces the sartorius and fascia lata, and is distributed to the skin in front of the patella.
