- Discussion:
- in lateral gluteal region, cutaneous nerves are lateral cutaneous branches of T12 & Iliohypogastric (L1 ) nerves;
- superior region: receives superior cluneal nerves (lateral branches of dorsal rami of L1, L2, L3)
- these superior cluneal nerves may be damaged by iliac crest grafting
- medial area is supplied by middle cluneal nerves, lateral branches of dorsal rami of S1, S2, S3;
- inferior area receives inferior cluneal nerves, branches of the post femoral cutaneous nerve
