Lower Extremity Pain The damage to the femoral nerve can be caused by compression, trauma, and disease such as diabetes. Patients suffering from femoral neuropathy complain of pain that radiates into the front of the thigh and the mid-calf and is associated with weakness of the quadriceps muscle causing the knee to buckle.he damage to the femoral nerve can be caused by compression, trauma, and disease such as diabetes.

Chapter 15: The thigh and knee Damage to the sciatic nerve causes paralysis of the hamstrings (compensated for by the sartorius) and the muscles of the leg and foot, with loss of movement inferior to the knee. Sensation is also lost inferior to the knee except medially (saphenous nerve).

Femoral Nerve Palsy/Pain Femoral Nerve Palsy/Pain. I was injured running cross country two years ago. Doctors did not know what caused my pain and fused my back, removed my appendix and part of my ovary. Dr Dellon figured it out. It was a groin pull and a femoral nerve palsy. I am ready to dance and go shopping again!!

Femoral Neuropathy Damage to the femoral nerve can be the result of: 1  a direct injury. 2  a tumor or other growth blocking or trapping part of your nerve. 3  prolonged pressure on the nerve.  a pelvic 1  fracture. radiation to the pelvis.  hemorrhage or bleeding into the space behind the abdomen, which is called the retroperitoneal space.

- Motor Functions. The femoral nerve supplies some of the muscles of the anterior thigh. Hip Flexors. 1  Pectineus – adducts and flexes the thigh, assists with medial rotation of the thigh. 2  Iliacus – acts with psoas major and psoas minor (forming iliopsoas) to flex the thigh at the hip joint and stabilise the hip joint.he femoral nerve supplies some of the muscles of the anterior thigh.

Overview Diabetes may cause femoral neuropathy. Diabetes can cause widespread nerve damage due to fluctuations in blood sugar and blood pressure. Nerve damage that affects your legs, feet, toes, hands, and arms is known as peripheral neuropathy.

Femoral nerve casefile Forward flexion did not increase the pain, in fact it brought a measure of relief. However extension, and particularly leaning to the right, caused very severe pain in the back, groin and front of the leg. The distribution of the femoral nerve, in particular the lumbar 2 nerve root. The straight leg test of lasegue for a sciatic nerve impingement, leg pain sciatica, was negative, as was the slump test. However, the femoral nerve stretch was very extremely painful in the groin and front of the thigh. My diagnosis is femoral neuritis. Kemp's test for a lumbar facet syndrome was extremely painful, with pain immediately in the anterior upper leg.

- The femoral nerve block is an ideal block for surgeries of the hip, knee, or anterior thigh and is often combined with a sciatic nerve block for near complete lower-extremity analgesia.

- The quadriceps femoris muscle is a four-headed muscle of the thigh which almost completely covers the femur femoral nerve (L2-4).In detail the quadriceps consists of: 1  Rectus femoris muscle: has two origins at the anterior inferior iliac spine of the pelvis and the upper margin of the acetabulum.linically the quadriceps is the reference muscle for the nerve roots L3 and L4. An absent patellar reflex may reveal a spinal disc herniation at the height of L3 or L4. In contrast a paralysis of the quadriceps by a peripheral lesion is typically demonstrated by the inability to walk adequately and to climb the stairs.

What is a Femoral Nerve Block? A femoral nerve block is a type of regional anesthesia in which the femoral nerve, located in the groin area, is deadened to allow surgery in the leg or knee area.

- Numbness in the thigh, a case study, part 4. Entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, diagnosed medically as Meralgia Paresthetica, has been poorly understood. Obesity, pregnancy, ill-fitting clothing are implicated, citing mechanical compression of the nerve as the cause.

Dissector Answers - Gluteal Region, Posterior Thigh & Hip 1 Example #3: damage to the inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1, and S2) impairs the gluteus maximus muscle. 2  This will result in weak or absent extension of the thigh. 3  Example #4: damage to the sciatic nerve (L4 through S3) will impair the action of the hamstrings.

Femoral Neuropathy Because of where it’s located, damage to the femoral nerve is uncommon relative to neuropathies caused by damage to other nerves. When the femoral nerve is damaged, it affects your ability to walk and may cause problems with sensation in your leg and foot.

Nerves of the Hip and Thigh Three nerves run through the region of the anterior and medial thigh: 1  Femoral nerve (L2–L4): This nerve runs from the lumbar plexus along the psoas major past the inguinal ligament to enter the femoral triangle. It has branches that innervate the anterior thigh muscles and the hip joint.

Femoral Nerve Home > Nervous System > Nerves of the Leg and Foot > Femoral Nerve. The femoral nerve is the major nerve that serves the tissues of the thigh and leg, including the muscles and skin. While the much larger sciatic nerve also passes through the thigh on its way to the lower leg and foot, only the femoral nerve innervates the tissues of the thigh.

Femoral nerve Because it is a mixed nerve, injury to the femoral nerve can cause both sensory disturbance, including pain, and motor weakness of the quadriceps and ilio psoas muscle. Consequently, a marked limp is a feature of the condition. Stairs may become difficult and dangerous.

Femoral nerve dysfunction Back to TopCauses. The femoral nerve is located in the leg. It helps the muscles move the hip and straighten the leg. It provides feeling (sensation) to the front of the thigh and part of the lower leg. A nerve is made up of many fibers, called axons, surrounded by insulation, called the myelin sheath.
