ABSTRACT
Conduction velocity of the saphenous nerve was studied antidromically. The value in 20 control subjects was 42.22 +/- 4.83 (SD) m/sec. In 7 patients with femoral neuropathy, the sensory nerve conduction in the symptomatic nerves was definitely abnormal nerve potential was absent in 4 and conduction velocity was slow in 2. In 1 patient, a possible asymptomatic femoral neuropathy was suggested by this test. Conduction velocity of the saphenous nerve can be used as an objective diagnostic aid in femoral neuropathy, saphenous neuropathy and polyneuropathy.
