Editorial Commentary: You Have Some (Infrapatellar Branch of the Saphenous) Nerve!

Infrapatellar branches of the saphenous nerve are always present at the anteromedial aspect of proximal tibia. Iatrogenic injury to these branches is a known consequence of knee surgery, be it an arthroscopic portal, harvesting of a hamstring or bone-patellar tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament graft, or opening wedge opening high tibial osteotomy. Their anatomic course can be variable. High-resolution ultrasound may provide an improved diagnostic tool for better identification.
