Anatomic variations in nerve branching can also predispose the sciatic nerve to further compression by the piriformis muscle, such as if the sciatic nerve pierces the piriformis muscle. [36] The sciatic nerve can also be entrapped outside of the pelvic space and this is called deep gluteal syndrome. [19]
The sciatic nerve is the most commonly affected nerve, causing symptoms of sciatica. The femoral nerve can also be affected and cause the patient to experience a numb, tingling feeling throughout one or both legs and even feet or a burning feeling in the hips and legs. [22]
A sciatic nerve injury occurs between 0.5% and 2.0% of the time during a hip replacement. [7] Sciatic nerve palsy is a complication of total hip arthroplasty with an incidence of 0.2% to 2.8% of the time, or with an incidence of 1.7% to 7.6% following revision.

Sciatica is an "umbrella term" associated with pain that runs the route of the sciatic nerve, Warner says. The sciatic nerve is responsible for both muscle movement and sensory sensations of the ...
Sciatica is when the sciatic nerve — which runs down the back of the leg — is pinched or pressured. It often results in shooting pain, numbness, and tingling that can reach the foot ...
The sciatic nerve is highly mobile in the deep gluteal space with hip and even knee movements. [7] For example, hip flexion with knee extension (also called a straight leg raise) causes the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space to move 28mm towards the center of the body. [14] Hip movements may also create dynamic impingement between muscles.
Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).
