Knee Replacement: MedlinePlus Interactive Health Tutorial from the Patient Education Institute. Femoral nerve block: Patient's Guide. There are several nerves very close to the femoral nerve that go to the hip.
The nerves are called the ‘obturator’ and the ‘lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh’. By putting anaesthetic around the femoral nerve, these other nerves are blocked too. This is helpful for people who are having broken hips fixed, or new joints put in. The nerve block may be used with a general anaesthetic, in which case you will be asleep for the nerve block. If the block is instead of a general anaesthetic, you will be awake or sedated (sleepy).
