Question

which nerve below when compressed, can cause lateral leg sensory loss?
femoral nerve
obturator nerve
sciatic nerve
tibial nerve

Explanation:

The sciatic nerve branches include the common peroneal nerve, which innervates the lateral leg. Compression of the sciatic nerve (or its peroneal branch) disrupts sensory signals from this region, causing lateral leg sensory loss. The femoral nerve supplies the anterior thigh, the obturator nerve the medial thigh, and the tibial nerve the posterior leg/foot.

Answer:

Sciatic nerve
