ABSTRACT
Delayed sciatic neuropathy due to pelvic reconstruction plate loosening following complex acetabular reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty seems not be have been previously reported. We identified a 79-year-old woman who developed progressive neurologic signs of entrapment 6 months following reconstruction of a pelvic discontinuity due to fracture nonunion caused by radiation necrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine was unrevealing and electromyography demonstrated a peripheral neurogenic process involving the sciatic nerve. Sciatic nerve exploration was done at 12 months after surgery finding a loose screw in the pelvic plate impinging the nerve. Substantial improvement in clinical symptoms resulted from removal and nerve release.
