Not the operated leg 👀 — this patient had a full quadriceps tendon rupture on the opposite side, repaired with reconstruction.
What you’re seeing here is the other thigh under TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) for meralgia paresthetica — an entrapment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve causing burning and numbness on the outer thigh.
While I often tell my patients that TENS is overused, this is one of the few cases where the evidence is on its side.
✅ According to Kılıç et al. (2020, Pain Physician), TENS as part of conservative management effectively reduces pain and remains the preferred first-line treatment before considering injections or surgical decompression, or nervectomy to stop the pain.
Sometimes, the simplest approach is still the smartest one ⚡
