    Nerve Supply - The Lumbosacral Plexus

    • The lumbosacral plexus is a network of nerves that innervates the lower limb
    • It is formed from the ventral rami of the spinal nerves L1-S4
    • The lumbosacral plexus gives rise to four major nerves that innervate the lower limb:
      • Femoral Nerve (L2-L4): Anterior quadrant of the hip and thigh
      • Obturator Nerve (L2-L4): Medial quadrant of the hip and thigh
      • Fibular Nerve (L4-L5): Lateral and anterior quadrants of the leg
      • Tibial Nerve (L5-S2): Posterior and medial quadrants of the leg
    • Each spinal nerve splits into dorsal and ventral divisions in the embryo, forming the four terminal nerves
    • The nerve supply of the lower limb is organized into four quadrants, which helps to simplify learning the muscles
