Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Superior gluteal nerve (SGN) injuries are associated with trauma, muscle entrapment, and surgical procedures.
  • The SGN innervates key muscles for hip abduction and stability.

Observation:

  • Three patients presented with isolated SGN injuries.
  • One injury occurred post-partial nephrectomy; two followed revision total hip arthroplasty.

Findings:

  • The study highlights iatrogenic SGN injuries following specific surgical interventions.
  • These injuries can manifest as gait abnormalities.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider SGN injury in patients with gait disturbances after hip/pelvic surgery.
  • Prolonged lateral decubitus positioning may also contribute to SGN injury.
