Abstract
The infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) is implicated in nerve injury from different knee surgeries because of its intimate course relative to the knee joint capsule. Pain physicians encounter patients in their practice for the management of neuralgia of this nerve or in the context of advanced management of knee osteoarthritis. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the anatomy, sonoanatomy, and the intervention of the IPBSN in pain management of infrapatellar neuralgia and chronic knee pain.
