Hip Flashcards
What does the iliohypogastric nerve innervate (sensory, motor)?
Sensory: suprapubic region
Motor: transverse abdominis, internal oblique
How does the iliohypogastric nerve get injured?
Abdominal surgery
Symptoms of iliohypogastric nerve damage
Burning/tingling pain in surgical incision site radiating to inguinal & supra pubic region
Sensory and motor innervation of genitofemoral nerve
Sensory: scrotum/labia majora, medial thigh
Motor: cremaster
How does injury to the genitofemoral nerve occur?
Laparoscopic surgery
Symptoms of injury to genitofemoral nerve
Decreased upper medial and anterior thigh sensation beneath inguinal ligament (lateral part of femoral triangle)
Absent cremasteric reflex
Innervation of lateral femoral cutaneous
Sensory: anterior & lateral thigh
Causes of injury to lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
Tight clothes, obesity, pregnancy, pelvic procedures
Presentation of injury to lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
Decreased thigh sensation (anterior, lateral)
Meralgia paresthetica: compression of nerve results in tingling, numbness, burning pain in anterolateral thigh
Sensory and motor innervation of obturator nerve
Sensory: medial thigh
Motor: obturator externus, adductors longus + magnus + brevis, gracilis, pectineus
Damage to obturator nerve
Pelvic surgery
Symptoms of obturator nerve damage
Decreased thigh sensation (medial) and adduction
Sensory & motor innervation of femoral nerve
Sensory: anterior thigh, medial leg
Motor: quadriceps, iliacus, pectineus, sartorius
Causes of injury to femoral nerve
