Abstract
The most commonly experienced neuropathic symptom in the distribution of the LFCN following direct anterior THA is “numbness” that occurred in 37% of patients with a positive DN4-I score. Neuropathic symptoms improved in patients further out from surgery with pain reported in 11% of patients from 6 to 8 years postoperatively. Neuropathic symptoms significantly improve with time and appear to be independent of hip function scores.
