Topography and evidence of a separate “fascia plate” for the femoral nerve inside the iliopsoas – A dorsal approach

Abstract: In a clinical environment, the femoral nerve stretch test is used in order to stress the femoral nerve (FN) and the mid lumbar (L2-L4) nerve roots. This helps medical practitioners diagnose nerve root impingements and upper lumbar disc herniation.This test is also known by various other names such as the Mackiewicz-test (Estridge et al., 1982), and a reverse Lasègue

“…The circumneurium replaces the previous name of paraneurium or paraneural sheath, which is a non-neural tissue or fascia that covers most nerves and is more external than the underlying layer or epineurium, divided into an external and an internal border; the epineurium may contain in its thickness (internal and external) adipocyte-containing compartments, which may be absent or present depending on the overall thickness of the nerve [ 5 ]. We do not know in detail the functions of this circumneurium with respect to the biomechanics of the nerve and with respect to the surrounding tissues [ 6 ]. With the improvement of surgical techniques that go hand-in-hand with research, descriptions of different fascial relationships and anatomical continuities increase.…”
