UNLABELLED An unknown percentage of patients who have internal fixation for hip fractures have sciatic neuropathy develop. In most cases, the cause for this complication is unknown. We retrospectively reviewed 2202 consecutive patients treated in our hospital for hip fractures to ascertain whether there was any relationship between duration of preoperative traction and postoperative sciatic neu...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the systemic and local immune status of two surgical rat models of sciatic nerve injury, a crushed sciatic nerve, and a sciatic nerve transection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation (control group), sciatic nerve crush, and sciatic nerve transaction. Sciatic nerve surgery was perfor...

Sciatic hernia is a rare pelvic floor hernia that occurs through the greater or lesser sciatic foramen. Sciatic hernias often present as pelvic pain, particularly in women, and diagnosis can be difficult. Sciatic hernia is one of the rarest forms of internal hernia, which can present as signs and symptoms of small bowel obstruction, swelling in the respective gluteal region or pelvic pain. Tran...

background: olfactory ensheathing glia (oeg) has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect after being transplanted in rats with spinal cord injury. this study was conducted to determine the possible beneficial results of olfactory mucosa transplantation (omt) which is a source of oeg on functional recovery and axonal regeneration after transection of the sciatic nerve. methods: in this study...

Inflammatory cells play a critical role during nerve regeneration following peripheral nerve injury. In this study, we investigated immune responses in rat sciatic nerve after injury. Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sciatic nerve injury (model) group and control group. The right sciatic nerve of rats in the model group was transected and sutured end-to-end. Our results showed that ra...

background: effects of platelet-derived growth factor b (pdgf-b) on peripheral nerve regeneration was studied using a rat sciatic nerve transection model. materials and methods: forty‑five male, white wistar rats were divided into three experimental groups (n = 15), randomly: normal control group (nc), silicon group (sil), and pdgf‑b treated group (sil/pdgf). in nc group, left sciatic nerve was...

Ureteric sciatic hernias are extremely rare. Here we report a case of a 78-year-old woman presented with colicky left abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a ureteric sciatic hernia, and drip infusion pyelography revealed dilated left ureter with herniation of the ureter into the sciatic foramen. The hernia was successfully repaired laparoscopically. We have described the diagnosis and m...

CONTEXT Although herniation of a lumbosacral intervertebral disk is a major cause of sciatic distribution pain, relentlessly progressive symptoms or signs should alert one to the possibility of a tumor involving the nerve. OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical, neurophysiological, and histological features of a pathologically unique tumor involving the sciatic nerve. SETTING Tertiary referral ...
