11. The saphenous nerve can experience entrapment syndrome from exercises involving the quadriceps or from prolonged walking or standing. 12. In the past they have been used for saphenous vein graft and native coronary artery percutaneous coronary interventions. 13. The saphenous nerve does not leave through the adductor hiatus but penetrates superficially halfway through the adductor canal. 14. If the great saphenous valve at the sapheno-femoral junction is incompetent, a reflux will appear. 15. When it occurs in the leg, the great saphenous vein is usually involved, although other locations are possible. 16. Its roof is formed by the fascia lata, except at the saphenous opening where it is formed by the cribriform fascia. 17. However, they often remove a portion of the saphenous vein in the leg for such repairs because it is durable and expendable. 18. By comparison ERA has been shown to control 80 % of cases of small saphenous vein reflux at 4 years, said Myers. 19. LITA, radial ) are far more sensitive to rough handling than the saphenous veins and may go into spasm if handled improperly. 20. The other two structures that are associated with the adductor hiatus are the saphenous branch of descending genicular artery and the saphenous nerve.
