Compressive and Entrapment Neuropathies of the Lower Extremity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neuromuscular Disorders in Clinical Practice

Abstract

Lower extremity mononeuropathies are not as prevalent as those of the upper extremities. However, they may cause a diagnostic challenge since they are commonly confused with lumbosacral radiculopathies or, less often, lumbosacral plexopathies. This is particularly true in elderly patients where lumbosacral radiculopathies, due to lumbar spine disease, are common, and incorrect diagnoses may lead to unnecessary spine surgery. These nerve lesions are also debilitating since they often interfere with standing and walking and may results in falls. This chapter discusses in details the applied anatomy of lower extremity peripheral nerves and the clinical and electrodiagnostic aspects of lower extremity mononeuropathies.
