Pelvic, acetabular, hip, and proximal femur fractures: Intrapelvic and extra-pelvic neuroanatomy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, we outline the intrapelvic and extra-pelvic anatomy of the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, genitofemoral, femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, obturator, and sciatic nerve, as well as their anatomic variants and common points of compression. We further discuss the diagnosis, management, and expected clinical outcomes of injury to each of these nerves.
