Lumbosacral plexus Sciatic and Femoral nerves Dr. NDAYISABA CORNEILLE CEO of CHG MBChB,DCM,BCSIT,CCNA

OBJECTIVES By the end of the lecture, students should be able to:  Describe the formation of lumbosacral plexus (site & root value).  List the main branches of lumbosacral plexus.  Describe the course of femoral & sciatic nerves.  List the motor and sensory distribution of femoral & sciatic nerves.  Describe the main motor & sensory effects in cases of lesion of femoral & sciatic nerves. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

LUMBAR PLEXUS  Formation:  Ventral (anterior) rami of the upper 4 lumbar spinal nerves (L1,2,3 and L4).  Site: Within the substance of the psoas major muscle.  Main branches:  Iliohypogastric & ilioinguinal: to skin of the anterior abdominal wall.  Genitofemoral: to skin of the thigh & cremaster muscle.  Obturator: to medial (adductor) group of the thigh.  Femoral: to anterior group of the thigh. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

FEMORAL NERVE  Origin:  From lumbar plexus ( L2,3,4).  Course: Descends lateral to psoas major & enters the thigh behind the midpoint of the inguinal ligament. Passes lateral to femoral artery, then divides into anterior & posterior divisions. Femoral N DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

MUSCULAR BRANCHES OF FEMORAL NERVE In abdomen: To iliacus (flexor of hip joint). In lower limb: To the muscles of the anterior compartment of the thigh: Flexors of hip joint: Sartorius & Pectineus Extensors of knee joint: Quadriceps femoris. S A R T P DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

CUTANEOUS BRANCHES OF FEMORAL NERVE To antero-medial aspect of the thigh. To medial side of: Knee, Leg and Foot (saphenous nerve). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

INJURY OF THE FEMORAL NERVE Paralysis of Movement affected IliacusFlexion of the hip SartoriusFlexion and abduction of the hip PectineusFlexion and adduction of the hip Quadriceps femoris Extension of the knee  MOTOR EFFECT: Iliacus Pectinus sartorius Quadriceps DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

FEMORAL NERVE INJURY :  MOTOR MANIFESTATION:  Wasting of quadriceps femoris.  Loss of extension of knee.  Weak flexion of hip (psoas major is intact).  SENSORY EFFECT:  loss of sensation over areas supplied (antero- medial) aspect of thigh & medial side of knee, leg & foot. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SACRAL PLEXUS Formation: by ventral (anterior) rami of a part of L4 & whole L5 (lumbosacral trunk) + S1,2,3 and most of S4. Site: in front of piriformis muscle. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SACRAL PLEXUS Main branches: Pelvic splanchnic nerve: preganglionic parasympathetic to pelvic viscera & hindgut. Pudendal nerve: to perineum. Sciatic nerve: to lower limb. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Sciatic nerve  Origin:  From Sacral Plexus,  (L4,5, S1, 2,3).  It is the largest branch of the plexus.  It is the largest nerve of the body. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SCIATIC NERVE  Course:  Leaves the pelvis through greater sciatic foramen, below piriformis & passes in the gluteal region (between ischial tuberosity & greater trochanter) then to the posterior compartment of the thigh.  Termination:  Divides into tibial & common peroneal (fibular) nerves in the middle of the back of the thigh. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

BRANCHES OF THE SCIATIC NERVE  MUSCULAR: To Hamstrings (flexors of knee & extensors of hip). To all muscles below the knee (in leg & foot). 1.Common peroneal: Muscles of anterior & lateral compartments of leg (Dorsi flexors of ankle, Extensors of toes, Evertors of foot). 1.Tibial: Muscles of posterior compartment of leg & intrinsic muscles of sole (Planter flexors of ankle, Flexors of toes, Invertors of foot except tibialis anterior). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

BRANCHES OF SCIATIC NERVE  CUTANEOUS: To all leg & foot EXCEPT: areas supplied by the Saphenous nerve (branch of Femoral nerve). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

TIBIAL NERVE  Course: Descends through popliteal fossa to the posterior compartment of leg. Accompanied with posterior tibial vessels. Passes behind the medial malleolus (deep to flexor retinaculum) to reach the sole of foot where it divides into 2 terminal branches, (Medial & Lateral planter nerves). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

COMMON PERONEAL (FIBULAR) NERVE  Course: Leaves popliteal fossa & turns around the lateral aspect of neck of fibula, (dangerous position). Then divides into:  Superficial peroneal or  (musculocutaneous) to supply the Lateral compartment of the leg.  Deep peroneal or  (anterior tibial) :  to supply the Anterior compartment of the leg. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

most frequently injured The sciatic nerve is most frequently injured by…? I- I- Badly placed intramuscular injections in the gluteal region. upper outer quadrant of the buttock. To avoid this, injections into the gluteus maximus or medius should be made… into the upper outer quadrant of the buttock. Most nerve lesions are incomplete, and in 90% of injuries, Most nerve lesions are incomplete, and in 90% of injuries, the common peroneal (part of the nerve) is the most affected. Why? superficial - The common peroneal nerve fibers lie superficial within he sciatic nerve. CAUSES OF SCIATIC NERVE INJURY II-Posterior dislocation of the hip joint DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SCIATIC NERVE INJURY  MOTOR EFFECT: Marked wasting of the muscles below the knee. Weak flexion of the knee (sartorius & gracilis are intact). Weak extension of hip (gluteus maximus is intact). plantar- flexed position,Foot Drop. All the muscles below the knee are paralyzed, and the weight of the foot causes it to assume the plantar- flexed position, or Foot Drop. (Stamping gait). (Stamping gait). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SCIATIC NERVE INJURY Sensory Lesion the knee, Except for a narrow area down the medial side of the lower part of the leg Sensation is lost below the knee, Except for a narrow area down the medial side of the lower part of the leg and along the medial border of the foot as far as the ball of the big toe, which is supplied by the saphenous nerve (femoral nerve). DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

SCIATICA Sciatica describes the condition in which patients have pain along the sensory distribution of the sciatic nerve. Thus the pain is experienced in the posterior aspect of the thigh, the posterior and lateral sides of the leg, and the lateral part of the foot. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Sciatica can be caused by:  Prolapse of an intervertebral disc, with pressure on one or more roots of the lower lumbar and sacral spinal nerves.  Pressure on the sacral plexus or sciatic nerve by an intrapelvic tumor.  Inflammation of the sciatic nerve or its terminal branches. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Common Peroneal Nerve Injury common peroneal nerve exposed position The common peroneal nerve is in an exposed position as it leaves the popliteal fossa it winds around neck of the fibula to enter peroneus longus muscle, (Dangerous Position). The common peroneal nerve is commonly injured In Fractures of the neck of the fibula and By pressure from casts or splints. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

The following clinical features are present:Motor: The muscles of the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg are paralyzed, The muscles of the anterior and lateral compartments of the leg are paralyzed, cause the foot to be Plantar Flexed (Foot Drop) and Inverted, Equinovarus. As a result, the opposing muscles, the plantar flexors of the ankle joint and the invertors of the subtalar joints, cause the foot to be Plantar Flexed (Foot Drop) and Inverted, an attitude referred to as Talipes Equinovarus. Common Peroneal Nerve Injury DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Common Peroneal Nerve Injury Sensory : Sensation is lost between the first and second toes. Dorsum of the foot and toes. Medial side of the big toe. Lateral side of the leg. Superficial peroneal DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Tibial Nerve Injury tibial nerve The tibial nerve leaves the popliteal fossa by passing deep to the gastrocnemius & soleus. Because of its deep and protected position, it is rarely injured. Complete division results in the following clinical features: Motor: All the muscles in the back of the leg and the sole of the foot are paralyzed. Dorsiflex and Evert the foot Calcaneovalgus. The opposing muscles Dorsiflex the foot at the ankle joint and Evert the foot at the subtalar joint, an attitude referred to as Talipes Calcaneovalgus. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE

Tibial Nerve Injury Sensory: Sensory Loss over: Lateral side of the leg and foot (sural nerve). Trophic ulcers in the sole. DR NDAYISABA CORNEILLE
