femoral nerve injuries
|
Femoral nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in the leg due to nerve damage.
The femoral nerve can be injured due to breaking bones of the pelvis. It can be injured when a catheter is placed in the artery in the groin (femoral artery), which lies next to the nerve. It can be one of many nerves affected by diseases causing widespread nerve damage (polyneuropathy), such as diabetes. It also can be damaged by pressure from tumors, abscesses, or internal bleeding into the pelvis or abdomen. Sensation changes in the thigh, knee, or leg, such as decreased sensation, numbness, tingling, burning, a feeling of the knee "giving way" or buckling, or (uncommonly) pain Weakness of the knee or leg, including difficulty going up and down stairs -- especially down |
|
common peroneal n. injury
|
Common peroneal nerve dysfunction is damage to the peroneal nerve leading to loss of movement or sensation in the foot and leg.
Common peroneal nerve dysfunction is damage to the peroneal nerve leading to loss of movement or sensation in the foot and leg. Decreased sensation, numbness or tingling in the top of the foot or the outer part of the upper or lower leg Weakness of the ankles or feet Walking abnormalities "Slapping" gait (walking pattern in which each step taken makes a slapping noise) Foot drop (unable to hold foot horizontal) Toes drag while walking |
|
obturator n injury
|
Damage to the obturator nerve can occur during pelvic or abdominal surgery. Although quite rare, the obturator nerve may also become spontaneously trapped where it exits the pelvis. Patients with obturator nerve injury have possible numbness and pain radiating to their inner thigh. Adduction thigh weakness can occur (ability to move the thighs together), which causes gait and posture instability.
|
|
sciatic n injury
|
Pain on one side of the buttock or in one leg that is worse when sitting
Burning or tingling down the leg Weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot A constant pain on one side of the rear A sharp pain that may make it difficult to stand up or to walk caused:lumbar herniataed disk or lumbar spinal stenosis |
|
tibial n
|
Tibial nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in the lower leg, caused by damage to the tibial nerve.
The usual causes are direct trauma, prolonged pressure on the nerve, and compression of the nerve from nearby body structures. Entrapment involves pressure on the nerve where it passes through a narrow structure. The damage may include destruction of the myelin sheath of the nerve (the insulation around the nerve) or destruction of part of the nerve cell (the axon). Damage to either part slows or prevents conduction of impulses through the nerve. The tibial nerve is commonly injured by fractures or other injury to the back of the knee or the lower leg. It may be affected by systemic diseases causing polyneuropathy (damage to multiple nerves) such as diabetes. It may be damaged by pressure from lesions such as tumor, abscess, or bleeding into the knee. |
