This report describes an apparent case of femoral nerve mononeuropathy in a 58-year-old equestrian due to mechanical stress. A woman presented at a chiropractic office complaining of right buttock pain radiating to the right groin and knee. A treatment plan, consisting of chiropractic adjustments in addition to stretching and myofascial therapy, was initiated. The goal was to reduce pain and in...

We described a case in which femoral nerve block (FNB) and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (LFCNB) with dexmedetomidine (DEX) was useful for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a femoral neck fracture in a patient with severe aortic stenosis. Cardiac surgery had been recommended but was declined by the patient. Thus, ORIF was selected because of the patient's concomitant severe...

The utilization of nerve transfer procedures in the upper extremity following brachial plexus injury, trauma, spinal cord tumors, infection or other etiologies are well established. Nerve injuries lower pose several additional challenges, including longer distance to target motor end plates, far-proximal lumbar pelvis, delayed presentation, and concomitant limb trauma. transfers have potential ...

BACKGROUND Continuous femoral nerve blocks are a part of the multimodal perioperative anesthetic regimen following total knee replacement. Elicitation of a quadriceps muscle contraction (QC) at placement is desirable. We prospectively evaluated the relationship between elicited motor response and threshold current with block success in situ femoral nerve catheters after total knee replacement. ...

In recent years, adductor canal block (ACB) has been introduced as an alternative for femoral nerve block with a great advantage of preserving or minimally reducing quadriceps strength. The technique is relatively easy and is performed under ultrasound guidance. Despite growing evidence regarding efficacy and safety of ACB following knee surgery, use of ACB is still limited to high volume ortho...

Quant Imaging Med Surg 2015;5(6):932-933 www.amepc.org/qims We report a case describing an extraspinal cause of lumbosacral radiculopathy. The goal of this case report is to highlight the contributing role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of peripheral nerves in radicular pain. Axonotmesis of the sciatic nerve could be considered as a post-traumatic piriformis syndrome. A 53-year-old man pre...
