متن کاملSciatic nerve palsy secondary to postoperative haematoma in primary total hip replacement.
Sciatic nerve palsy is a recognised complication of primary total hip replacement. In our unit this complication was rare with an incidence of < 0.2% in the past ten years. We describe six cases of sciatic nerve palsy occurring in 355 consecutive primary total hip replacements (incidence 1.69%). Each of these palsies was caused by post-operative haematoma in the region of the sciatic nerve. Cas...

متن کاملNerve palsy after leg lengthening in total replacement arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

There were eight nerve palsies (two femoral, six sciatic), two complete and six incomplete. We found no statistical correlation between the amount of lengthening and the incidence of nerve damag...
