Femoral neuralgia
Femoral neuralgia is pain distributed along the femoral nerve, specifically from the groin down the anterior thigh, to the medial aspect of the knee joint, and the medial malleolus of the lower leg. It commonly affects young and middle-aged men, often unilaterally. The main clinical manifestations are severe neuropathic pain and hyperalgesia in the anterior thigh.
View detailsMeralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia Paresthetica refers to a neurological disorder caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at certain points along its course, leading to increased local pressure and nerve dysfunction. It is commonly seen in middle-aged and older men, primarily presenting as numbness in the anterolateral thigh, often accompanied by burning pain and hyperalgesia in the distribution area of the nerve.
View detailsCompartment syndrome
The muscles of the limbs are surrounded and divided by the surrounding muscle compartments, interosseous membranes, and bones, forming fascial compartments. When a limb is compressed, the pressure within the fascial compartment increases, damaging the blood supply to the muscles and nerves within the compartment, leading to a series of symptoms and signs known as compartment syndrome. It is more common in males, with pain and limited mobility as the main clinical manifestations.
Pelvic tumor
Pelvic tumor refers to bone tumor diseases that occur in the pelvis. They are relatively common, accounting for 3% to 4% of primary bone tumors. Both malignant and benign pelvic tumors exist. Bone tumors that occur in the pelvis include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, lymphoma, myeloma, and metastatic carcinoma.
View detailsBone defect
Bone defect is a complex pathological change caused by various factors such as trauma, infection, tumor, and congenital diseases. It often leads to nonunion or delayed union, primarily manifesting as localized pain, abnormal mobility at the fracture ends, and ultimately resulting in muscle atrophy and limb dysfunction.
View detailsJoint contracture
Joint contracture refers to the formation of scars in the soft tissues outside the joint, leading to significant restriction of joint movement. It is a common complication of fractures. The main symptom is significant restriction of joint movement.
View detailsCommon peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome
Peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome refers to a condition caused by compression of the common peroneal nerve and its main branches. The common peroneal nerve extends from the popliteal fossa (behind the knee) to the lateral malleolus (outer ankle). The main symptoms are pain, soreness, weakness in the calf, and foot drop.
View detailsCommon peroneal nerve injury
Common peroneal nerve injury generally refers to damage to the common peroneal nerve caused by external factors such as impact, pinching, compression, or freezing, or by internal metabolic disorders. After common peroneal nerve injury, symptoms such as inability to dorsiflex the foot, foot drop, and sensory disturbances in the dorsum of the foot may occur.
View detailsPeroneal nerve injury
Common peroneal nerve injury is the most common nerve injury in the lower extremities, referring to the dysfunction of the common peroneal nerve due to trauma or prolonged compression. The main symptoms include foot drop on the affected side, inability to dorsiflex the toes, and decreased or absent sensation in the lateral calf and dorsum of the foot.
