Abstract

Background: Saphenous nerve is the largest cutaneous nerve in the lower limb. It usually arises from the dorsal division of femoral nerve and innervates skin over patellar ligament, tibial side of leg, medial side of foot and ball of great toe. Saphenous nerve also responsible for mechanosensor functions in the knee joint. Evidence based research reported that saphenous nerve is prone to injury during interventional procedures. Knowledge about Aberrant saphenous nerve anatomy is essential for clinicians to perform interventional procedures in patients without complications. So the author of the present study aimed to explore the aberrant saphenous nerve anatomy in cadaveric lower limb specimens.
