[Gluteal sciatic nerve injury and its treatment].
To analysis the clinical characters of gluteal sciatic nerve injuries and investigate the treatment options. ⋯ The gluteal sciatic nerve injury has since been challenging because of the tremendous difficulty in treatment and the poor outcome. The injury situation at the different region was closely related to the regional anatomy. According to this study, it is advised that the surgical treatment should be carried out actively. Neurolysis should be performed as soon as possible in the cases of injection injury. Epineurial neurorrhaphy should be performed in the cases of nerve rupture. In case of the gluteal sciatic nerve injury which caused by pelvic fracture or hip dislocation, the reduction and decompression is suggested in the early stage, and exploration and nerve repair is indicated in the late stage. The functional reconstruction of foot and ankle should be carried out in the late stage for the improvement of the limb function.
