Meralgia paresthetica: a complication of iliac bone procurement.

Abstract

A rare complication of iliac bone graft procurement is described, in which the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve can be injured during the procedure, or it can be entrapped in healing scar after the closure. The surgical anatomy of this nerve is described, as is the pathophysiology and the treatment of the lesion. Suggestions are made as to means to avoid this complication.
