Lumbar disc degeneration is defined as the wear and tear of lumbar intervertebral disc, and it is mainly occurring at L3-L4 and L4-S1 vertebrae. Lumbar disc degeneration may lead to disc bulging, osteophytes, loss of disc space, and compression and irritation of the adjacent nerve root. Clinical presentations associated with lumbar disc degeneration and lumbosacral nerve lesion are discogenic pain, radical pain, muscular weakness, and cutaneous. Discogenic pain is usually felt in the lumbar region, or sometimes, it may feel in the buttocks, down to the upper thighs, and it is typically presented with sudden forced flexion and/or rotational moment. Radical pain, muscular weakness, and sensory defects associated with lumbosacral nerve lesions are distributed on -
Peroneal Nerve Injury Associated with Sports-Related Knee Injury
Neurosurg Focus 31 (5):E11, 2011 Peroneal nerve injury associated with sports-related knee injury DOSANG CHO, M.D., PH.D.,1 KRIANGSAK SAETIA, M.D.,2 SANGKOOK LEE, M.D.,4 DAVID G.

KIM, M.D.4 1Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea; 2Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand; 3Department of Neurosurgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana; and 4Department of Neurosurgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas Object. This study analyzes 84 cases of peroneal nerve injuries associated with sports-related knee injuries and their surgical outcome and management. Methods. The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of peroneal nerve injury associated with sports between the years 1970 and 2010. Each patient was evaluated for injury mechanism, preoperative neurological status, electro- physiological studies, lesion type, and operative technique (neurolysis and graft repair). Preoperative status of injury was evaluated by using a grading system published by the senior authors. All lesions in continuity had intraoperative nerve action potential recordings. Results. Eighty-four (approximately 18%) of 448 cases of peroneal nerve injury were found to be sports related, which included skiing (42 cases), football (23 cases), soccer (8 cases), basketball (6 cases), ice hockey (2 cases), track (2 cases) and volleyball (1 case). Of these 84 cases, 48 were identified as not having fracture/dislocation and 36 cases were identified with fracture/dislocation for surgical interventions. Good functional outcomes from graft repair of graft length < 6 cm (70%) and neurolysis (85%) in low-intensity peroneal nerve injuries associated with sports were obtained. -

Using Dumitru et al. [1] technique for the assessment of this nerve, we studied one hundred and sixteen limbs from fifty-eight healthy volunteers. The mean values for the posterior cutaneous femoral nerve were as follows: onset latency 2.0 msec (±0.5), amplitude 7.0µV (±2.1), nerve conduction velocity 52 m/s (±4). The assessment of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve is simple and reproducible. The results of this standardization were similar to the ones described in international literature. Keywords: Femoral nerve; Posterior cutaneous nerve Results Introduction The mean values for the posterior cutaneous femoral nerve were as follows: onset latency 2.0msec (±0.5), amplitude 7.0µV (±2,1), nerve The posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh leaves the pelvis through conduction velocity 52 m/s (±4); Table 1 summarizes our findings. -

A Rare Bifurcation Pattern of the Sciatic Nerve

ABSTRACT Variations in branching patterns of the sciatic nerve are thought to be clinically significant because of the nerve’s extensive distribution area. Here we report a rare and unusual branching pattern of the sciatic nerve which was observed in a male cadaver. Sciatic nerve underwent a high division inside the pelvic cavity, and entered the gluteal region as separate tibial and common fibular nerves. Subsequent distal courses of both nerves into the leg were normal. Knowledge of sciatic nerve variations is useful in treating lower limb neuropathies, such as piriformis syndrome, which tends to be caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle. Keywords: Sciatic nerve bifurcation; sciatic nerve anomalies; piriformis syndrome. INTRODUCTION The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the popliteal fossa, the two divisions of the sciatic human body (Williams et al., 1995). It is one nerve occasionally separate from one another of the terminal nerves emerging from the proximal to the apex of the popliteal fossa lumbosacral plexus, and is formed by the (Beaton and Anson, 1937; Williams et al., union of the ventral rami of L4-S3 spinal 1995; Fessler and Sekhar, 2006). -

Study of Anatomical Pattern of Lumbar Plexus in Human (Cadaveric Study)
54 Az. J. Pharm Sci. Vol. 54, September, 2016. STUDY OF ANATOMICAL PATTERN OF LUMBAR PLEXUS IN HUMAN (CADAVERIC STUDY) BY Prof. Gamal S Desouki, prof. Maged S Alansary,dr Ahmed K Elbana and Mohammad H Mandor FROM Professor Anatomy and Embryology Faculty of Medicine - Al-Azhar University professor of anesthesia Faculty of Medicine - Al-Azhar University Anatomy and Embryology Faculty of Medicine - Al-Azhar University Department of Anatomy and Embryology Faculty of Medicine of Al-Azhar University, Cairo Abstract The lumbar plexus is situated within the substance of the posterior part of psoas major muscle. It is formed by the ventral rami of the frist three nerves and greater part of the fourth lumbar nerve with or without a contribution from the ventral ramus of last thoracic nerve. The pattern of formation of lumbar plexus is altered if the plexus is prefixed (if the third lumbar is the lowest nerve which enters the lumbar plexus) or postfixed (if there is contribution from the 5th lumbar nerve). The branches of the lumbar plexus may be injured during lumbar plexus block and certain surgical procedures, particularly in the lower abdominal region (appendectomy, inguinal hernia repair, iliac crest bone graft harvesting and gynecologic procedures through transverse incisions). Thus, a better knowledge of the regional anatomy and its variations is essential for preventing the lesions of the branches of the lumbar plexus. Key Words: Anatomical variations, Lumbar plexus. Introduction The lumbar plexus formed by the ventral rami of the upper three nerves and most of the fourth lumbar nerve with or without a contribution from the ventral ramous of last thoracic nerve. -
Foot Drop Schema Script
CPS Foot Drop Schema Script Hi everyone - my name is Maniraj. I’m excited to narrate this Clinical Problem Solvers schema on foot drop. Foot drop is really a story about a weakness or paralysis in the muscles that dorsiflex the foot. A patient with foot drop will drag their toes while walking. To avoid tripping over their toes while walking, a patient will lift their foot higher off the ground. Since there is no dorsiflexion for a heel strike when bringing their foot down, the patient “overshoots” and slaps their foot on the ground. This is called a steppage gait. What muscles are we talking about? The main dorsiflexor muscles are the tibialis anterior and the extensors of the toes (extensor hallucis longus and extensor digitorum longus). All of these muscles are innervated by the deep peroneal nerve, which is a branch of the common peroneal nerve. The peroneal nerve itself is a terminal branch of the sciatic nerve; the other branch of the sciatic is the tibial nerve. To help anchor the nerve functions we’ll be talking about, I think it’d be beneficial to first review acronyms that can be used to memorize them. The peroneal nerve functions to evert and dorsiflex at the ankle, which can be remembered by the acronym PED. The tibial nerve functions to invert and plantarflex at the ankle, so that becomes TIP. Since the sciatic nerve is really just the bundle of peroneal & tibial nerves, you can remember the sciatic nerve functions as PED + TIP. The sciatic nerve also supplies the hamstrings, which flex the leg at the knee. -
