Traumatic femoral nerve neuropathy treated by interfascicular nerve grafting: a case report and literature review.
A case of traumatic femoral nerve neuropathy secondary to a close range shotgun wound in the groin is described. Spontaneous recovery did not occur because of the segmental defect in the nerve and extensive scarring over the groin. Reinnervation of the quadriceps mechanism was achieved by interfascicular nerve grafting. Interfascicular nerve grafting is a useful technique in lower extremity nerve injuries.
