Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nerve palsy as a complication of hematoma following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare development. Although rare, this complication can cause permanent nerve palsy. The authors experienced a case of recovery from sciatic nerve palsy after emergency evacuation of a hematoma. The expanding thigh hematoma was due to anticoagulation treatment for prevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip arthroplasty. After 10 months from the operation, the patient regained complete motor power and leads an ordinary life. The authors would like to emphasize the danger of hematoma following anticoagulation therapy for prevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip arthroplasty.
