Nerves around and over and of the hip

[Diane]

I've finished the first nerve that passes over the hip, and sends articular branch(es) to it, The most medial big nerve, Obturator.
Four main views are included. I especially like the medial view. You can really see how the nerve has to put up with a lot of potential tensioning from the pelvis skeleton itself, just in the neutral position. Is it any wonder it can become "shortened up" or at least acquire adverse deformation, when people sit a lot? And when heavy activity, like gymnastics and skating are performed, is it any wonder people suffer "groin" or "labrum" "injuries" ? Symptoms that mimic these can simply be obturator or some branch thereof gasping for oxygen IMO.

Here is the next deep nerve laterally from obturator (shown faintly in yellow), the femoral in bright green.

Here is the Lateral Cutaneous nerve of the thigh (obturator and femoral are ghosted in yellow).
I think I was most surprised to see how posteriorly some of the branches go - all the way round to where posterior cutaneous (not here yet) leaves off:

Here is a "panoramic" of three of the superficial nerves that come off L2, L1 and T12 ventral rami, swing diagonally down and around to the front of the pelvis.

Here are more images, of the main cutaneous nerves innervating the pelvis/hip, ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric and subcostal.

The more I get into this the more I see a coniferous tree-like pattern to this, where the mesodermally deeper branches are coming off further down in the spinal nerves than the ones that feed the skin further up. I'll make a picture of what I mean and post it here later.

I had to post the medial view in separate bits because the images were a bit too big to make a panorama.
