[Femoral neuralgia and diabetes. Method of clinical approach].
A retrospective study allowed us to work out an original method for an essentially clinical approach of the correlation between femoral neuropathy and diabetes mellitus. Nine parameters were chosen for this purpose and a score was developed. From this score, three categories were defined: in each, the existence and etiological probability of diabetes mellitus are discussed. This clinical approach is a simple means of establishing more accurate guidelines for complementary investigations.
