1/3. sciatic nerve palsy after cementless total hip arthroplasty. Treatment by modular neck and calcar shortening: a case report.This is a case report of sciatic nerve palsy after total hip arthroplasty. Although the patient's symptoms became worse postoperatively, full recovery occurred after shortening of the calcar and femoral neck length. For acute sciatic nerve palsy patients with worsening of symptoms in the postoperative course in spite of hip and knee flexion, reexposure for early recognition of the sciatic nerve condition and reoperation by shortening the femoral neck may be an option.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Postpartum periarticular hip abscess with later coxitis caused by group B streptococcus.Intrapartum haematogenous spread of vaginal group B streptococcus is rare, but it can lead to severe complications like abscesses, endocarditis and meningitis postpartum. We report a postpartum periarticular hip abscess caused by group B streptococcus. Clinically it caused pain in the hip and a compression of the femoral nerve with motor and sensory component. Diagnosis was made by aspiration under computed tomography control. The only sign of infection was an increased sedimentation rate. After antibiotic treatment the symptoms disappeared and the abscess vanished, but it was reactivated 4 months after delivery, leading to arthritis of the hip joint. Another antibiotic treatment was administered for 8 weeks. 17 months postpartum the patient is well, but a development of a secondary coxarthrosis can not be excluded.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. AAEM case report 32: nerve injury associated with hip arthroplasty.Hip arthroplasty to alleviate pain related to arthritic degeneration has become one of the most common orthopedic procedures performed. As the elderly population expands, the number of such procedures can be expected to continue to increase. An electrodiagnostic evaluation can aid in localization, help identify the mechanism of injury, and be used as a tool to identify the nature and severity of the nerve pathology. electrodiagnosis can also be used to generate a prognosis for recovery from nerve damage following hip surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = nerve (Clic here for more details about this article) |
