13-23
Femoral block complications
- Infection
- Hematoma
- Vascular puncture
- Nerve injury
- Obturator n. twitch (adductors of the medial leg) mistaken for quads: move needle laterally

Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
(LFCN)
sensory innervation
lateral thigh
lumbar distributions from L2-4
⭐️
Of the 3 large anterior nerves in this region, the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve is the most…
lateral and superficial
This nerve lies away from major vessels and is close to skin surface
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
Anatomical variations of Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve
can lie inside, deep to or lateral to the sartorius muscle
usually away from major vessels and close to skin surface
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block gives limited anesthesia of ____ so we must …
lateral thigh
supplement FNB
(Mid shaft and distal femur fracture repairs)
Femoral Nerve block mostly affects (sensory/motor).
motor
(why its decining in use for knee replacement)
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block
Transducer position
Inject 5-10 ml via short 22G:
* 2 cm inferior and lateral to ASIS
* lateral edge of sartorius muscle
ASIS=anterior superior iliac spine
Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block
Goal
LA spread around LFCN between tensor fasciae latae and sartorius muscles
PEricapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block
is used for…
- Hip pain
- fast-track post Anterior THR
Needle: lateral aspect and contact the superior pubic ramus just lateral to the psoas tendon; then inject
