ABSTRACT
Background:
Femoral nerve is a nerve of choice forfemoral nerve blockade. It enters the femoral triangle atthe midinguinal point. However, this point of entry neednot be the same always. Aim andObjectives:
This studyis aimed at measuring the morphometry of the femoralnerve with the help of bony landmarks. Material andmethods:
Forty adult lower limbs were dissected andthe morphometry of the femoral nerve was studied.Results:
The mean distance from the Anterior SuperiorIliac Spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle was 12.66 ±1.48 cm. We found the FN from the ASIS at a meandistance of 6.38 ± 1.45 cm. Also, the FN was at a meandistance of 6.76 ± 1.12 cm from the pubic tubercle. Themean length of the FN trunk below the inguinalligament, i.e., in the femoral triangle before the divisionwas 2.19 ± 0.34 cm. However, in 8 lower limbs, the FNtrunk was divided before entering the femoral triangle.Conclusion:
The findings of our study serve as anenabling guide to the surgeons, neurologists andanesthetist's in detecting the FN for various clinical andsurgical procedures.
