Sciatic Nerve Palsy following Curved Periacetabular Osteotomy

Figure 2

Preoperative and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. (a) T2-weighted images of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging. The arrow indicates the sciatic nerve and soft tissue without degeneration. (b) T2-weighted images of 12 months postoperative magnetic resonance imaging after left-side curved periacetabular osteotomy. The arrow indicates denatured soft tissue around the sciatic nerve. (c) Short T1 inversion recovery images of 12 months postoperative magnetic resonance imaging after left-side curved periacetabular osteotomy. The arrow indicates intensity change in the sciatic nerve, suggesting nerve degeneration.
