Abstract

Though uncommon, femoral nerve palsies are potentially devastating injuries which can occur as a result of penetrating trauma or malignancies, however the most common cause is inadvertent iatrogenic injury following intra abdominal surgery such as gynaecological/vascular surgery or total hip replacement [1]. We present a case of iatrogenic femoral nerve injury with a delayed presentation resulting in an 8.5cm nerve defect, which was managed with both traditional cable grafting and a contemporary nerve transfer utilising a modification of an existing technique.
