OBJECTIVES Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive technique with moderate pain during the first 24h. Our main objective was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided saphenous nerve block as a method of pain control intraoperatively and postoperatively for this surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective and observational study. All patients received general anesthesia with lar...

conclusions ipbsn injury is a common complication following arthroscopically-assisted aclr and, ifn not significant, oblique direction of the incision is associated with decreasedn incidence of the injury. ipbsn injury has no effect on the function but because of then disturbance with patients' satisfaction, authors believe the oblique incision isn preferable to avoid the nerve injury during me...

Saphenous nerve, a pure sensory nerve, may compromise as a result or complication of a surgical procedure or secondary to trauma or insidiously. We present a male patient with low back pain concomitant with pain in medial portion of left thigh in addition to pain and numbness in medial part of leg and inferior part of patella after a strenuous activity. Preliminary diagnosis suggested that the ...

The hindpaw of the rat is normally innervated by the sciatic and saphenous nerves. In the present studies, the hindpaws of adult rats were partially deafferented by transection of the sciatic nerve for variable periods of time. The organization of the hindpaw representation in primary somatosensory (S-I) cortex was then studied with neurophysiological mapping techniques and compared to the orga...

A complex degenerative disorder of the joints, knee osteoarthritis (OA) is marked by profound articular cartilage modification, alterations in osteophyte production, subchondral bone, and synovial inflammation. Pain impaired functioning will be brought on this illness. The saphenous nerve, which finishes femoral mostly a sensory nerve. It nourishes joint's medial Compartment as well portion ant...

Background: Injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) is common after arthroscopic ACLreconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft, as reported in up to 88% of the cases. Due to close relationshipbetween the IPBSN with pes anserine tendons insertion skin incision may sever IPBSN while harvesting gracillis andsemitendinous tendons. As the IPBSN course at the anterior of...

Both lower extremities of 10 cadavers (20 specimens) were dissected to delineate the course of the saphenous nerve and its two major divisions (sartorial and infrapatellar branches). The course of the saphenous nerve followed the standard text description, except at the point in the sartorius muscle where the infrapatellar branch exited to become a subcutaneous structure. The location of this b...
