Delayed Sciatic Nerve Palsy due to Hematoma Related with Anticoagulants Prophylaxis in the Femur Intramedullary Nailing: A Case Report: Young Mo Kim, Yong Bum Joo, Seok Hwan Song; J Korean Fract Soc 2017;30(4):198-202. Published online October 31, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2017.30.4.198

Femur intramedullary nailing can be one of the most predictable procedures in orthopedic traumatology. The advantage of this method is that the fracture site does not have to be widely exposed for reduction, which can minimize soft tissue damage. For this reason, the incidence of complications related to hematoma has been rare. We experienced only one case of sciatic nerve palsy due to hematoma after intramedullary nailing; the patient was receiving an anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, we report this case with literature review.

Hip Fracture-dislocation with Sciatic Nerve Palsy and Ipsilateral Femoral Shaft Open Fracture: A Case Report: Kap Jung Kim, Ha Yong Kim, Sung Il Kang, Won Sik Choy; J Korean Fract Soc 2007;20(1):94-98. Published online January 31, 2007; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2007.20.1.94

Abstract PDF: The posterior dislocation of the hip accounts for about 85~90% of traumatic hip dislocations and high energy mechanisms such as traffic accidents may cause them. The traumatic dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the hip are true orthopedic emergencies and it should be considered that a femoral head has poor vascularity and the sciatic nerve is closely located to it. We report on one patient who went through the surgical treatment of the concomitant ipsilateral open fracture of the femoral shaft and hip fracture-dislocation accompanying sciatic nerve injury with the review of the literatures.

Complete Rupture of Sciatic Nerve by Protruded Kuncher Nail in Pelvic Bone Fracture: A Case Report: Yong Sik Kim, Nam Yong Choi, Suk Ku Han; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):486-489. Published online October 31, 2006; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2006.19.4.486

Abstract: Rupture of sciatic nerve is a rare injury in minimally displaced pelvic bone fracture. We report one case of complete rupture of sciatic nerve that were resulted from the extremely protruded Kuncher nail inserted before accident and the preexisting heterotopic ossification with a review of the relevant literature.

Combined Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Palsy Associated with Acetabular Fracture and Dislocation: A Case Report: Ki Chul Park, Kang Wook Kim, Young Ho Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2005;18(3):341-344. Published online July 31, 2005; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2005.18.3.341

Abstract PDF

Sciatic nerve palsy is the most common nerve injury associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation, but femoral nerve injury is known to be very rare because of relative protected position of nerve between the iliacus and psoas muscle, and as far as we know only one report was noted in English about combined femoral and sciatic nerve injury associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation, so we hereby report a case of combined femoral and sciatic nerve palsy associated with acetabular fracture and dislocation.
