Background: Complications following revision total hip arthroplasty can cause significant morbidity and have a high mortality rate. Patient age and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system score are important determinants of mortality following revision hip arthroplasty. There is a paucity of high-quality evidence assessing the risk of mortality following revision hip arthroplasty stratified by indications of surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Radiation-induced peripheral nerve tumors (PNT) are rare complications of radiotherapy, and this study adds six new cases, significantly increasing the known instances in the literature.
- The cases reviewed show a wide age range and varied radiation doses, with the majority of tumors being neurofibromas and schwannomas, exhibiting common pathologic features like nuclear atypia and S100 positivity.
- The findings suggest a need for further understanding of PNT pathology and potential malignant transformation, highlighting that while this complication is infrequent, it should be considered, especially as radiotherapy techniques evolve.
