Popis: | The obturator and genitofemoral nerves supply sensory and motor innervation to the relatively large area of the inguinal region, thigh, hip, and knee joints. These nerves are situate in relatively easily accessible anatomic positions. Their wide innervation and easy accessibility make blocks of obturator and genitofemoral nerves useful in many clinical situations. Nevertheless, blocks of these nerves have received little attention in the recent literature. This review focuses on the relevant anatomic landmarks and techniques for their successful blockade, as well as on clinical applications. |
