Femoral Nerve Palsy Following Delayed Reduction of a Dislocated Hip in a 44- Year-old Man
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. Sciatic nerve is the most common injured nerve in this setting. In the medical literature, there are few documented cases of femoral nerve injury following hip dislocations. CASE REPORT We report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip. CONCLUSION Two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job.

Delayed Femoral Nerve Palsy Associated with Iliopsoas Hematoma after Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty
Femoral nerve neuropathy after total hip arthroplasty is rare but catastrophic complication. Pain and quadriceps muscle weakness caused by this complication can significantly affect the functional outcome. Here we present a case report, describing delayed onset femoral nerve palsy associated with iliopsoas hematoma following pseudoaneurysm of a branch of profunda femoris artery after 3 months o...
متن کاملTransient femoral nerve palsy associated with a synovial cyst of the hip in a patient with spinal cord injury.
We report a case of local compression-induced transient femoral nerve palsy in a 46-year-old man. He had previously undergone surgical release of the soft tissues anterior to both hip joints because of contractures following spinal injury. An MRI scan confirmed a synovial cyst originating from the left hip joint, lying adjacent to the femoral nerve. The cyst expanded on standing, causing a tran...
متن کاملNerve Palsy after Total Hip Arthroplasty without Subtrochanteric Femoral Shortening Osteotomy for a Completely Dislocated Hip Joint
BACKGROUND Neurological injuries are a rare but devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine the frequency of nerve palsy after THA without subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy in patients with a completely dislocated hip joint without pseudo-articulation between the femoral head and iliac bone. METHODS Between...
متن کاملTrochanteric Fracture of a Congenital/Developmental Dislocation of the Hip in an Elderly Woman: A Case Report
An 87-year-old woman with a residual dislocated hip suffered a trochanteric fracture on the ipsilateral side. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation surgery with good results. To treat a proximal femoral fracture of the residual dislocated hip in an elderly patient, the patient’s overall status, pre-fracture ability, hip joint configuration, and fracture pattern should...
متن کاملTotal hip replacement for high dislocated hips without femoral shortening osteotomy.
When performing total hip replacement (THR) in high dislocated hips, the presence of soft-tissue contractures means that most surgeons prefer to use a femoral shortening osteotomy in order to avoid the risk of neurovascular damage. However, this technique will sacrifice femoral length and reduce the extent of any leg-length equalisation. We report our experience of 74 THRs performed between 200...
