If you are talking about the numbness in and around your knee replacement, please do not worry as it is not a major problem or complication.
Also if you are suffering from Back pain following your knee replacement surgery and thinking it as a nerve damage doing some physical therapy will help you with that.
Outside of the knee....
Commonly known as St. John's wort, hypericum is used to treat nerve damage.
The saphenous nerve is a branch of the femoral nerve that supplies sensation to the inner knee. It runs down the leg, providing sensation to the skin along the inner aspect of the knee and lower leg.
no difference except for the sensory supply. if you damage your sciatic nerve, the sensory and muscle supply above the knee also lost as the sciatic nerve is damage. This is because common peroneal nerve is the brach of sciatic and it is at level of your knee. Only muscle and sensory below the knee level will be affected if you damage the common peroneal nerve. However the condition of foot drop would be the same
Is it bad to cut the saphenous nerve in the knee
The nerve that approaches the knee and divides into the fibular and tibial nerves is the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. It originates from the lower spine and travels down the back of the thigh, eventually splitting into these two branches at the knee.
If you have no knee reflex, it may indicate issues with the nerve that controls your reflexes, damage to the spinal cord, or a neurological disorder. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Nerve Damage was created in 2004.
OBTURATOR
Liposuction on the knees is a procedure that can cause problems if the doctor isn't a highly accredited professional. I believe that if the surgery isn't performed properly that it can cause cartilage damage in the knee joints. Not only is this a risk, but nerve damage and fluid accumulation or fluid loss can also cause serious health problems.
The commonest cause is usually a poorly balanced knee ie: poor surgical technique. other causes are nerve damage and lack of patient participation in physical therapy post operatively.
