A member asked:
Has anyone done or does anyone know who does release of obturator nerve secondary to tethering to fascia in sports medicine pelvic injuries?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Obturator entrapment: Yes open release is carried out more commonly. In your area i would seek out a neurosurgeon or sports medicine specialist familiar with the diagnosis and treatment.

Guided injection: I would try an injection around the nerve with ultrasound guidance prior to surgery. Also make sure you have had emg/ncs to see if there is true nerve damage.
