The anterior divisions of the lumbar nerves, sacral nerves, and coccygeal nerve form the lumbosacral plexus, the first lumbar nerve being frequently joined by a branch from the twelfth thoracic. For descriptive purposes this plexus is usually divided into three parts:

• lumbar plexus
• sacral plexus
• pudendal plexus

Injuries to the lumbosacral plexus are predominantly witnessed as bone injuries. Lumbosacral trunk and sacral plexus palsies are common injury patterns.{{cite journal|last1=Garozzo|first1=Debora|last2=Zollino|first2=Gianluca|last3=Ferraresi|first3=Stefano|title=In lumbosacral plexus injuries can we identify indicators that predict spontaneous recovery or the need for surgical treatment?
