Signals from the femoral nerve and its branches can be blocked to interrupt the transmission of pain signals from the innervation area. Some of the nerve blocks that work by affecting the femoral nerve are the femoral nerve block, the fascia iliac block and the 3-in-1 nerve block. Femoral nerve blocks are very effective. [3]
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.
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.
Nerve to pectineus - This nerve arises from the femoral nerve just above the inguinal ligament. It passes behind the femoral sheath to reach the anterior surface of the pectineus muscle. [2] Femoral sheath encloses the upper 4 cm of the femoral vessels. Its contents are shown below (from lateral to medial): Femoral branch of the genitofemoral ...
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.
The lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh may have multiple branches. [1] Its position with relation to the ASIS can be very variable. [3] It may partially pass through sartorius muscle rather than over its surface. [1] It may be absent, and the sensory supply replaced by branches of the femoral nerve and the ilioinguinal nerve. [1]
Its branches are all cutaneous, and are distributed to the gluteal region, the perineum, and the back of the thigh and leg. The inferior clunial nerves (or gluteal branches), three or four in number, turn upward around the lower border of the gluteus maximus , and supply the skin covering the lower and lateral part of that muscle.
