Postoperative footdrop following total hip arthroplasty: Epidemiology, risk factors, and associated complications
Patients developing footdrop following THA were more likely to be women, undergoing revision surgery, and had higher rates of prior lumbar fusion and medical comorbidities. They reported more postoperative complications and subsequent revisions following THA. This study informs us of the risk factors footdrop and may contribute to better patient counseling and surgical planning before undergoing THA.
