Anatomic Study of Innervation of the Anterior Hip Capsule: Implication for Image-Guided Intervention.
The purpose of this cadaveric study was to determine the pattern of anterior hip capsule innervation and the associated bony landmarks for image-guided radiofrequency denervation. ⋯ Branches of the FNs and ONs consistently provided innervation to the anterior hip capsule. The AON also contributed innervation in many specimens. The relationship of the articular branches from these 3 nerves to the inferomedial acetabulum and the space between the anterior inferior iliac spine and iliopubic eminence may suggest potential sites for radiofrequency ablation.

Randomized Controlled TrialPostoperative Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound-Guided Intermediate Cervical Plexus Block on Unipolar Sternocleidomastoid Release With Myectomy in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Muscular Torticollis: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Unipolar sternocleidomastoid release with myectomy (USRM) for correction of congenital muscular torticollis in pediatric patients produces moderate to severe postoperative pain. The objective of this trial was to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided intermediate cervical plexus block on postoperative pain after USRM. ⋯ This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02651311.
