Formation
β€œventral rami of L1-S4”
2 components:
a. lumbar plexus (L1-L4) – forms within psoas major anterior to lumbar transverse process
- 6 branches
b. sacral plexus (L4-S4) – forms anterior to piriformis muscle
- 12 main branches
2/
Lumbar plexus (L1-L4)
Simple β€œI (twice) Got Lunch On Friday”
2 nerves w/ single root
2 nerves w/ double root
2 nerves w/ triple root
3/
Progression of the lumbar root values
1 – Ilioinguinal & Iliohypogastric nerves
1,2 – Genitofemoral nerve
2,3 – Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
2,3,4 – Obturator & Femoral nerves

Sacral plexus
β€œformed from ventral rami of L4-S4”
Six P’s and five major branches (SIPPS)
9/
Six P’s
all of the nerves of the anterior rami (prior to division) start w/ P
PArasympathetic pelvic splanchnic nerves(S2-S4)
PErforating cutaneous nerve(S2-S3); PErineal branch of S4 (S4)
PIriformis (S1-S2)
POsterior femoral cutaneous nerve (S1-S3)
PUdendal nerve (S2-S4)

How to remember the 12 sacral branches?
1st SIPSS and extras (quadratus&obturator)
2nd Six P’s; remove the PArasympathetic & PErineal branch
3rd Remember that sciatic is formed by common fibular & tibial
4th add the coccygeal

Lumbosacral plexopathy
Lumbar plexus
- weakness of hip flexion and adduction and/or knee extension
vs
Lumbosacral trunk and upper sacral plexus
- foot drop or flail foot
