Abstract:
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. Each may be injured by a variety of potential causes, many of them iatrogenic. Here, we review the anatomy of the femoral and obturator nerves and the clinical features and potential etiologies of femoral and obturator neuropathies. Their necessary investigations, including electrodiagnostic studies and imaging, their prognosis, and potential treatments, are discussed in this chapter.
摘要:
股神经和闭孔神经都来自L2,L3和L4脊神经根,并下降到骨盆中,然后出现在下肢。股神经的主要功能是膝关节伸展和髋关节屈曲,以及腿部的一些感官神经支配。闭孔神经的主要功能是大腿内收和对大腿内侧小区域的感觉神经支配。每个人都可能受到各种潜在原因的伤害,其中许多是医源性的。这里,我们回顾了股神经和闭孔神经的解剖结构以及股神经和闭孔神经病变的临床特征和潜在病因。他们必要的调查,包括电诊断研究和成像,他们的预后,和潜在的治疗方法,在本章中讨论。
