Abstract
Case: A 29-year-old teacher, presented with right medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) tear. This was identified and confirmed by magnetic imaging resonance and MPFL was reconstructed with gracilis tendon. She had femoral nerve palsy that recovered fully after prolonged rehabilitation.
Conclusion: Femoral nerve palsy secondary to pneumatic pressure is uncommon. Fortunately, most of the injured femoral nerves recover spontaneously without any neurological sequelae. There is controversy in the literature regarding the optimal pneumatic pressure for lower limb and duration of the tourniquet. We report a case of femoral nerve palsy secondary to pneumatic pressure.
Abbrevations: MPFL: Medial Patella Femoral Ligament; EMG: Electromyelography; TKA: Total Knee Arthroplasty; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
