Case description

The femoral nerve is one of the major nerves of the lumbar plexus, arising from the posterior divisions of the L2, L3, and L4 roots. It emerges from the lateral border of the psoas major muscle, descends between psoas and iliacus, and passes beneath the inguinal ligament to enter the thigh.
