Orthopedics 203: Nerve Entrapments of the Pelvis and Lower Extremities Course
Orthopedics 203: Nerve Entrapments of the Pelvis and Lower Extremities Course is organized by CCEDSeminars.
Course Description:
This course covers the anatomy and physiology of common pelvis and lower extremity entrapment syndromes. This class will emphasize identifying and conservatively managing the various entrapment syndromes. This presentation will also provide patient education strategies for the prevention and home management of entrapments.
Course Outline:
Nerve entrapment anatomy and physiology. The anatomy of each entrapment will be discussed in the entrapment section).
• Nerve entrapments of the pelvis and leg (anatomy, etiology, ortho/neuro, treatment)
• Ilioinguinal syndrome
• Genitofemoral nerve syndrome
• Pudendal Nerve Syndrome
• Lumbosacral tunnel syndrome
• Gluteal nerve syndrome
• Iliacus Muscle Syndrome
• Obturator tunnel syndrome
• Cutaneous femoris posterior nerve syndrome
• Piriformis muscle syndrome
• Meralgia paresthetica
• Saphenous nerve syndrome
• Popliteal entrapment syndrome
• Peroneal Tunnel Syndrome
• Superficial peroneal nerve syndrome
• Sural nerve syndrome.
• Nerve entrapments of the foot (anatomy, etiology, ortho/neuro, treatment)
• Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Tarsal tunnel syndrome
• Medial Plantar Nerve Syndrome
• Syndrome of a lateral plantar nerve (1st branch)
• Morton’s metatarsalgia.
Learning Objectives:
• Develop a better understanding of anatomy and physiology
• Enhance clinical knowledge to properly diagnose and treat entrapment syndromes
• Outline ways to educate patients on prevention strategies
• Explain strategies for managing entrapment syndromes including through nutrition.
