Article Synopsis
  • Peripheral nerve damage, though rare, can complicate outcomes of hip replacement surgery, with recovery times linked to the severity of the damage.
  • In a study of over 1400 patients, factors like dysplastic osteoarthritis and revision surgery were noted as risks, with varying recovery rates based on the extent of nerve damage, especially in the femoral and sciatic nerves.
  • Most patients (63.6%) regained nerve function within a timeframe of 4 weeks to 24 months, with all light palsy cases recovering and many severe palsy cases showing improvement, while female patients faced a higher risk of nerve damage.
