Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The lumbar plexus starts from the T12 to L4 of the ventral rami of the spinal nerve. It supplies the lower limbs and the pelvic girdle. Lumbar and sacral plexus are together called the lumbosacral plexus. The femoral nerve, femoral cutaneous nerve, and the genitofemoral nerve are the three important nerves of the lumbar plexus.
