In Vivo Anatomical Variations in the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve in Children
In contrast to adult anatomy, our study shows that the LFCN has two or more branches in 74% of patients. Thus, based on our observations, surgeons should carefully dissect the subcutaneous tissue around the LCFN due to the numerous anatomical variations to avoid iatrogenic damage to the nerve.
