Alaska (IPA: [ÉËlÃ¦skÉ]) is a state of the United States of America, located in the extreme northwest portion of North America. It is by far the largest U.S. state in area, and is also one of the wealthiest and most racially diverse states. The area that became Alaska was purchased from Russian claims on October 18, 1867; Alaska became the 49th state of the United States on January 3, 1959.
The usual causes of femoral nerve dysfunction: 1  Direct injury (trauma) 2  Prolonged pressure on the nerve. 3  Compression or entrapment of the nerve by nearby parts of the body or disease-related structures (such as a tumor)
Damage to the femoral nerve may result from trauma, iatrogenically, or as a consequence of disease processes. Disruption may be complete or partial. Femoral nerve lesions are uncommon. One study of 27,004 primary hip arthroplasties found only two patients with complete and one with partial femoral nerve palsy. A review of cases treated surgically at a neurosurgical department found 119 patients over a period of 33 years.
