    Protecting the persistent sciatic artery during posterior hip surgery is crucial. Arteriography before ligation is vital, as this artery may be the primary blood supply to the leg.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Posterior hip approaches carry risks to nearby vasculature.
    • The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare anatomical variation.

    Observation:

    • The PSA can be inadvertently injured during posterior hip surgery.
    • Injury can lead to serious complications like embolization or rupture.

    Findings:

    • Arteriography is essential to identify PSA presence before ligation.
    • PSA may be the sole blood supply to the lower extremity, even with palpable pulses.

    Implications:

    • Preoperative identification of PSA via arteriography is critical for surgical planning.
    • Awareness of PSA anatomy can prevent catastrophic limb ischemia or hemorrhage.
