Background Lesion of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) represents the main
complication during minimally invasive anterior approach dissection to the hip joint. The aim …

Background Although the direct anterior approach (DAA) has become a standard for primary
and revision total hip arthroplasty, it involves a high risk of injuring the lateral femoral …

Background: Injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a risk during the
operative anterior approach to the hip joint. Although several anatomical studies have …

Introduction: Recently, the branching pattern of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN)
named Fan type has been reported that LFCN injury cannot be avoided in surgical …

Background: The anterior approach to the hip joint is widely used in pediatric and adult
orthopaedic surgery, including hip arthroplasty. Atrophy of the tensor fasciae latae muscle …

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a branch of the lumbar plexus and supplies
the skin of the lateral thigh region. This entrapment‐compressive syndrome is named …

Background The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) can be at risk during, for example,
the insertion of pins in the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) during external fixation of the …

Purpose Several variations in the anatomy and injury of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
(LFCN) have been studied since 1885. The aim of our study was to analyze the available …

The anterior supine approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) offers the advantage of
operating through a true intravascular and intranervous plane, but it places the lateral …

Current surgical assumptions identify the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) running
just under the inguinal ligament two fingerbreadths medial to the anterior superior iliac spine …
