Main nerves of the lower limb - anterior (English)

The main nerve of the anterior thigh is the femoral nerve. It originates from the lumbar plexus and extends to the knee, supplying motor innervation to muscles along its path. The second major nerve is the saphenous nerve. This is the largest branch of the femoral nerve and extends down the medial aspect of the limb, supplying sensory innervation to the knee, leg and foot.
