BackgroundThe incidence of sciatic nerve (SN) damage after a total hip replacement (THR) is 10 percent. The underdiagnosis of paucisymptomatic sciatic neuropathy may lead to the unsatisfactory outcome of the treatment in these patients featured by frequent chronic pain syndrome. This research was aimed at the evaluation of the dynamics of clinical and electrophysiological patterns in SN after THR.
