Nerves prone to stretch or compression in lithotomy
Nerves prone to stretch or compression in lithotomy
Sciatic and femoral nerve stretching occurs with hip flexion and external rotation. The fibular (peroneal) nerve is superficial in the proximal leg, and this site is prone to compression. The posterior tibial nerve is stretched with ankle dorsiflexion and is at risk when the foot is in stirrups.
