  • Nerve Injury

Background:

  • Sciatic nerve palsy is a known complication following total hip arthroplasty.
  • Delayed onset of this palsy is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A rare case of delayed sciatic nerve palsy post-total hip arthroplasty presented with severe clinical symptoms.
  • Electrophysiologic studies confirmed significant nerve dysfunction.

Findings:

  • The literature offers limited guidance for managing delayed sciatic nerve palsy.
