Abstract
Infrapatellar branches of the saphenous nerve are always present at the anteromedial aspect of proximal tibia. Iatrogenic injury to these branches is a known consequence of knee surgery, be it an arthroscopic portal, harvesting of a hamstring or bone-patellar tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament graft, or opening wedge opening high tibial osteotomy. Their anatomic course can be variable. High-resolution ultrasound may provide an improved diagnostic tool for better identification.
