Abstract:BackgroundEstablished subcutaneous internal fixation techniques have shown a better quality of life with reduced pain. However, complications still arise, with the most significant being injury of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). A novel minimally invasive modified technique, the Bridging Infix, has been proposed; however, the safety of the LFCN during the procedure is currently unknown. The aim of the study, therefore, was to determine the relationship between the Bridging Infix and the LFCN.
