    Electromyography (EMG) detected nerve lesions in some patients after total hip replacement (THR), though clinical symptoms were less common. Most patients with normal findings remained so long-term, suggesting potential for subclinical nerve injury post-THR.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic procedure.
    • Nerve injury is a potential complication following THR.
    • Electromyography (EMG) can detect nerve dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • A prospective study examined 50 extremities in 46 patients undergoing THR.
    • Clinical and EMG assessments were performed preoperatively and 4 weeks postoperatively.
    • Long-term follow-up was conducted for 10 patients with normal initial findings.

    Findings:

    • Four patients showed postoperative EMG evidence of nerve lesions despite normal preoperative findings; three had clinical symptoms.
    • One patient had subclinical nerve injury without clinical symptoms.

  • Retrospective review of 150 THR cases revealed only one doubtful nerve lesion.

    • Implications:

    • EMG may identify subclinical nerve injuries not apparent clinically after THR.
    • Understanding the incidence and nature of nerve lesions post-THR is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Further research could explore the long-term significance of EMG-detected nerve injuries.
