Femoral nerve palsy following Girdlestone resection arthroplasty: An observational cadaveric study

Figure 1 A 58-year-old patient experienced poor functional outcomes following Girdlestone resection arthroplasty. Weight bearing X-rays of the 58-year-old patient from 2013-2018. The dotted white lines and the orange arrows indicate the distance between the ischial tuberosity and the greater trochanter. A: After Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) in 2013. The baseline distance between the ischial tuberosity and greater trochanter was 10.5 cm; B: After GRA in 2015. The distance between the ischial tuberosity and greater trochanter increased to 15.8 cm; C: After GRA in 2017. The baseline distance between the ischial tuberosity and greater trochanter increased to 18.8 cm, indicating a leg shortening of 8.3 cm; D: After reimplantation of bilateral revision hip arthroplasty.
