Abstract :
Introduction: Incidence of nerve injury in traumatic hip dislocations is up to 10 %. Sciatic nerve is the most common injured nerve in this setting. In the medical literature, there are few documented cases of femoral nerve injury following hip dislocations.
Case Report: We report a 44-year-old man with right femoral nerve palsy following delayed reduction of an anterior dislocation of hip.
Conclusion: Two months after closed reduction, complete clinical recovery of right femoral nerve was achieved and the patient was able to resume his job.
