cutaneous nerve passed into the thigh near the femoral nerve and then 
curved laterally towards the anterior superior spine. In one instance it 
gave a large communicating branch to the lumbo-inguinal nerve. 
No relationship: between race, sex or side of body and variation in the 
distribution of the lateral cutaneous nerve is apparent in the charts. 
An extensive distribution on the front of the thigh is somewhat more 
often associated with anterior than with posterior forms of lumbo-sacral 
plexus. This may be seen from the following table.

The extensive anterior type of distribution is also most frequently 
associated with an “abnormal” type of vertebral column, especially a 
short one, as may be seen in the following table.
