    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neuroscience
    • Medical Device Technology

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic procedure.
    • Intraoperative sciatic nerve injury is a recognized complication during THR.
    • Postoperative sciatic nerve injury directly attributed to implanted components is uncommon.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of sciatic nerve laceration following THR is presented.
    • The injury was potentially caused by a protrusio ring, a component used in some THR procedures.
    • The patient's clinical presentation and the specific mechanism of injury are detailed.

    Findings:

    • The protrusio ring was identified as a possible etiological factor for the sciatic nerve laceration.
    • Analysis of the case provides insights into the biomechanical interaction between the implant and the sciatic nerve.

  • This finding underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique and implant selection.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the need for heightened awareness of potential implant-related nerve injuries post-THR.
    • Suggests modifications in surgical technique or implant design to mitigate risks associated with protrusio rings.
    • Emphasizes the importance of thorough patient evaluation and follow-up for early detection of neurological complications.
