Correlation between femoral length and superior gluteal nerve in posterior approaches to the coxofemoral joint

Objectives: To evaluate the femoral length as a predictor in the location of the superior gluteal nerve in the transgluteal approach to the hip joint. Materials and methods: A cadaveric dissection study was carried out in 15 gluteal regions corresponding to 10% formalized adult cadaveric specimens....

Sumario:Objectives: To evaluate the femoral length as a predictor in the location of the superior gluteal nerve in the transgluteal approach to the hip joint. Materials and methods: A cadaveric dissection study was carried out in 15 gluteal regions corresponding to 10% formalized adult cadaveric specimens. Through the transgluteal approach, the SGN and its superior and inferior terminal branches were identified. The distance between the apex of the greater trochanter (GT) and the inferior terminal branch of the SGN was measured, as well as the femoral length. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine significant differences between the GT–SGN distance according to gender and multiple regression to establish whether femoral length and gender are significant predictors of the GT–SGN distance. Results: The mean GT–SGN distance was 49.05 mm (range 39.2 to 59.7 mm) and the mean femoral length for both genders was 41.92 cm. The analysis of variance did not show significant differences in the GT–SGN distance according to sex (p=0.82) and the multiple regression analysis found no significant relationship between femoral length and the GT–SGN distance (p=0.93). Conclusions: The results of this study did not establish a significant correlation between femoral length and the distance between the superior gluteal nerve and the greater trochanter in the transgluteal approach to the hip joint.
