Morphology of saphenous nerve in cadavers: a guide to saphenous block and surgical interventions

Physical Examination and Ultrasound Evaluation of Patients with Superficial Venous Disease

“…It is the longest sensory branch of the femoral nerve and Inferior to the adductor canal, in the calf, the GSV and nerve become more intimately associated. 17 The SFJ, with its terminal and preterminal valves, is crucial for satisfactory hemodynamics and prevention of reflux from the common femoral vein. The location, valve competency, and diameter of the SFJ are documented (►Fig.…”

“…The block at Adductor canal plays an important role in controlling pain it also reduces the time of stay in the hospital. The muscle strength of quadriceps muscle is well preserved, improvement in mobility, and reduced risk of fall after total knee arthroplasty [14][15][16][17] . Even though femoral nerve block (FNB) has a significant role and in spite of its effective management in pain prevention, as the motor block is formed with the sensory nerve block, postoperative early mobilization is adversely affected due to a reduction in the strength of quadriceps muscle, and there is an increased risk of falling 29,30 .…”

Shear wave elastography of the saphenous nerve

“…Knowledge about the sonographic anatomy is essential for successful nerve blockade, pre- and postoperative analgesia and anesthesia, and this could be well demonstrated by high resolution ultrasound. [ 14 ] Further detailed morphological anatomy is still important for diagnosis of SN entrapment, neuralgia/neuropathy, and different type of injuries. These histological changes are not detected by conventional ultrasound.…”
