Sciatic Nerve Injury Secondary to Blast Trauma: A Case Report

This case report presents a rare instance of distal sciatic nerve injury caused by bone fragments from a blast injury. It provides valuable insight for plastic reconstructive surgeons, offering guidance on the management of complex sciatic nerve injuries. Sciatic nerve injuries often have a poor prognosis and require long-term management. Due to limited research and established guidelines, management can vary based on surgeon expertise. Initial treatment focused on limb salvage, with the nerve injury initially overlooked. Nerve conduction studies confirmed the extent and level of the nerve injury, leading to surgical exploration, removal of bone fragments within the nerve, neurolysis, and neurorrhaphy.
