Abstract EN
Femoral nerve neuropathy after total hip arthroplasty is rare but catastrophic complication.
Pain and quadriceps muscle weakness caused by this complication can significantly affect the functional outcome.
Here we present a case report, describing delayed onset femoral nerve palsy associated with iliopsoas hematoma following pseudoaneurysm of a branch of profunda femoris artery after 3 months of primary total hip arthroplasty in an 80-year-old female patient with single kidney.
Hip arthroplasty was done for painful primary osteoarthritis of left hip.
Diagnosis of femoral nerve palsy was made by clinical examination and computed tomography imaging of pelvis.
Patient was managed by surgical evacuation of hematoma and physiotherapy.
The patient’s clinical symptoms were improved after surgical evacuation of hematoma.
This is the first case report of its kind in English literature regarding delayed onset femoral nerve palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty due to pseudoaneurysm of a branch of profunda femoris artery without any obvious precipitating factor.
