Compression of the sciatic nerve by methylmethacrylate cement after total hip replacement

M Oleksak and AJ Edge

Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Southlands Hospital, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, England.

Severe leg pain in a patient after total hip replacement was found to be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by methylmethacrylate cement which had leaked from the acetabulum during fixation of the acetabular cup. The pain persisted for six years but was immediately relieved by removal of the cement mass.
