Clinical features and prognosis of postpartum lower extremity nerve injury: A four-year single-center experience in Israel

LENI is a rare complication of childbirth, generally associated with a favorable prognosis. The observed incidence at Shamir Medical Center was low, possibly reflecting underdiagnosis of milder cases. This is the first study to characterize postpartum LENI in the Israeli population. A prospective study is planned to further elucidate its pathophysiology and risk factors.

Abstract

LENI is a rare complication of childbirth, generally associated with a favorable prognosis. The observed incidence at Shamir Medical Center was low, possibly reflecting underdiagnosis of milder cases. This is the first study to characterize postpartum LENI in the Israeli population. A prospective study is planned to further elucidate its pathophysiology and risk factors.
