Abstract

The aim is to understand the clinical significance of these variations in surgeries and diseases. To conduct this review, we used the PubMed database, considering factors such as the availability of full texts, the language and relevance to the topic, in order to acquire comprehensive and detailed findings. After applying our exclusion criteria, we narrowed the findings down to 11 useful results. Throughout our study, we observed significant variations concerning the obturator nerve. The nerve displays diverse paths and trajectories, leading to deviations from the commonly accepted anatomical description. Additionally, we identified variations in the division point of the obturator nerve and the resulting innervation patterns that it provides for muscles, joints, and skin. More precisely, we discovered differences regarding the path, the source and the level of composition. Moreover, the muscles innervated by the obturator nerve's anterior branch and posterior branch may vary. Furthermore, variations were observed in the innervation of both the skin and joints. CONCLUSION: Our research demonstrates that the obturator nerve is susceptible to many forms of variations. Accurate knowledge of these variations is crucial for minimizing iatrogenic complications and ensuring patient care.

闭孔神经变异:述评。
目的是了解这些变化在手术和疾病中的临床意义。为了进行这项综述,我们使用了PubMed数据库,考虑了全文的可用性、语言和与主题的相关性等因素,以获得全面和详细的发现。在应用我们的排除标准后,我们将研究结果缩小到11个有用的结果。在整个研究过程中,我们观察到闭孔神经的显著变化。神经显示不同的路径和轨迹,导致偏离普遍接受的解剖描述。此外,我们还发现了闭孔神经分叉点的变化,以及它为肌肉、关节和皮肤提供的神经支配模式。更准确地说,我们发现了在路径、来源和组成水平方面的差异。此外,由闭孔神经前支和后支支配的肌肉可能不同。此外,皮肤和关节的神经支配也发生了变化。结论:我们的研究表明,闭孔神经易受多种形式的变异。准确了解这些变异对于减少医源性并发症和确保患者护理至关重要。
