title: Evaluation of local anaesthetic blockade of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
abstract: An assessment of local anaesthetic blockade of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve using a standard technique was made. The rate of successful blockade was high, but the area of sensory loss was inconsistent between patients and was more anterior and distal than described in textbooks of anatomy.
