Classification and Fascicular Analysis of Variant Branching Pattern of Femoral Nerve for Microsurgical Intervention: A Series of Thirteen Cadavers
Femoral neuropathy associated with lower limb is treated by surgical intervention through activation/regeneration/grafting of nerve fibers by a nerve cuff electrode implant or neuro-prosthesis. These procedures require detailed and precise knowledge of neuro-anatomical variants of the femoral nerve...

Femoral neuropathy associated with lower limb is treated by surgical intervention through activation/regeneration/grafting of nerve fibers by a nerve cuff electrode implant or neuro-prosthesis.
