Risk Factors for Perioperative Nerve Injury Related to Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nerve injury following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a rare but serious adverse event. While prior studies have reported risk factors for nerve injury related to THA, they are limited to institutional data or small sample sizes. The current study aimed to leverage a large, national database to assess independent risk factors for sustaining nerve injury with THA.

Methods

The 2010-2021 PearlDiver M157 database was queried for adult THA cases. Those with nerve injury within 90 days of THA were identified. Patient age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Elixhauser comorbidity index (ECI), fracture indication, and surgery type (index vs revision) were assessed for correlation with nerve injury by multivariate analyses.

Results

Out of 750,695 THAs, 2659 (0.35%) had ne
