title: Section of the sciatic nerve by a metal acetabulum reinforcement ring: a literature review through one case.
abstract: We report the case of a sciatic nerve section in a patient operated for a multi-acetabular loosening. Clinical symptoms were a progressive sensitive and motor deficit in the sciatic nerve territory. At the last loosening, the Burch-Schneider metal frame, which builds on the ischium, tipped on its axis causing the large section of the sciatic nerve. A literature review will discuss this rare case and give some recommendations.
