Postoperative pain following total hip arthroplasty (THA) may occur in a few patients but may pose a significant challenge to surgeons if the etiology is not identified. Herein, we report the case of a patient who developed late-onset pain following THA due to screw penetration of the iliopsoas tendon.
We report the case of a 77-year-old man who developed inguinal pain 7 years after THA. While the symptoms resembled that of iliopsoas impingement by the acetabular cup, the pain resolved only when the supplementary acetabular screw protruding through the ilium was decompressed. Decompression was performed using the pararectus approach. The patient was able to ambulate pain-free immediately after surgery.
A protruded screw through the ilium may penetrate the iliopsoas muscle, causing pain following THA. Pain may resolve with the decompression of the protruded screw.
全髋关节置换术(THA)后,少数患者可能会出现术后疼痛,但如果病因不明,可能会给外科医生带来重大挑战。在此,我们报告一例全髋关节置换术后因螺钉穿透髂腰肌肌腱而出现迟发性疼痛的患者病例。
我们报告一例77岁男性患者,在全髋关节置换术后7年出现腹股沟疼痛。虽然症状类似于髋臼杯对髂腰肌的撞击,但只有当突出穿过髂骨的髋臼辅助螺钉减压后,疼痛才得以缓解。采用腹直肌旁入路进行减压。患者术后立即能够无痛行走。
穿过髂骨突出的螺钉可能会穿透髂腰肌,导致全髋关节置换术后疼痛。突出螺钉减压后疼痛可能会缓解。
