Article Abstract
Hip arthroplasty to alleviate pain related to arthritic degeneration has become one of the most common orthopedic procedures performed.As the elderly population expands,the number of such procedures can be expected to continue to increase.An electrodiagnostic evaluation can aid in localization,help identify the mechanism of injury,and be used as a tool to identify the nature and severity of the nerve pathology. Electrodiagnosis can also be used to generate a prognosis for recovery from nerve damage following hip surgery.
