Abstract
Neuropathies affecting the femoral nerve are often attributed to iatrogenic injury or entrapment in areas of anatomical restriction. These insults to the nerve can result in weakness, paresthesia, or pain in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, or joints innervated by the femoral nerve. Peripheral nerve stimulation has shown promise in controlling pain syndromes related to the femoral nerve.
