We investigated the topographic anatomy of the LFCN focusing on the inguinal ligament and adjacent structures. <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> Distances from various bony and soft\u2010tissue landmarks to the LFCN were investigated in 33 formalin\u2010embalmed cadavers. <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> The mean distance from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the LFCN was 8.8\u2009mm. In approximately 90% of cases, the LFCN lay &lt;2\u2009cm from the medial tip of the ASIS, whereas, in 76% of cases, it was &lt;1\u2009cm away. The mean angle between the inguinal ligament and LFCN was 83.3\u00b0. <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> We determined the variability of the location of the LFCN at the boundary between the pelvic and femoral portions. The reported results will be helpful for diagnosis and treatment of MP. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> 55: 646\u2013650, 2017<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.25382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,20]],"date-time":"2016-08-20T14:26:56Z","timestamp":1471703216000},"page":"646-650","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Anatomy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve relevant to clinical findings in meralgia paresthetica"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Shin\u2010hyo","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kang\u2010jae","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young\u2010chun","family":"Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tae\u2010jun","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ki\u2010seok","family":"Koh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wu\u2010chul","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anatomy, Research Institute of Medical Science Konkuk University School of Medicine 120 Neungdong\u2010ro Gwangjin\u2010gu Seoul 05029 Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","first-page":"883","article-title":"Meralgia paresthetica: a review of the literature","volume":"8","author":"Cheatham SW","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Sports Phys Ther"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2015.04.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01637599"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-011-1858-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199709000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000000367"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.10106"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.20716"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","first-page":"255","article-title":"Meralgia paresthetica.
