Abstract

Hip innervation is derived from lumbar plexus (L1–L4) by both femoral (L2–4, articular branches) and obturator (L2–4, medial region of hip capsule) nerves. Sacral plexus (L4–S4, cephalad portion), via superior gluteal nerve (L4–S2), innervates the posterior region of hip capsule and ischiocapsular ligament (Figs. 1, 2, and 3).
