A study of anatomy of middle cluneal nerve entrapment

Dr. Shruti Mamidwar, Dr. Abhilasha M. Vahane

Abstract :

 

The purpose of this study was to ascertain, using cadavers, the relationship between the MCN and LPSL and to investigate MCN entrapment.

Methodology: A total of 30 hemipelves from 20 cadaveric donors (15 female, 5 male) designated for education or research, were studied by gross anatomical dissection. The age range of the donors at death was 71–101 years with a mean of 88 years.

Results: A total of 64 MCN anches were identified in the 30 hemipelves. Of 64 anches, 10 (16%) penetrated the LPSL. The average cephalocaudal distance from the PSIS to where the MCN penetrated the LPSL was 28.5±11.2 mm (9.1–53.7 mm). The distance from the midline was 36.0±6.4 mm (23.5–45.2 mm). The diameter of the MCN anch traversing the LPSL averaged 1.6±0.5 mm (0.5–3.1 mm). Four of the 10 anches penetrating the LPSL had obvious constriction under the ligament.
