The results of 7150 consecutive primary and revision total hip arthroplasties performed between 1976 and 1990 were reviewed retrospectively. Sixteen @entity16 were identified in 16 @entity1 . The incidence of @entity129 after total hip arthroplasty was 0.22%. There were five @entity1 and 11 @entity1 (average age, 59.5 years; range, 27-81 years). The @entity16 consisted of 10 ulnar palsies, four @entity5300 , one @entity129 , and one @entity10036 . @entity1 were evaluated with respect to age, gender, preoperative diagnosis, type of procedure (primary versus revision), and surgical approach. Preoperative diagnoses included: @entity625 (11), @entity571 (two), @entity2530 (one), @entity572 (one), and @entity625 (one). Fourteen of 16 @entity1 (88%) had complete recovery. Two @entity1 (12%) had persistent symptoms despite operative intervention. The only significant predisposing factor to developing an @entity16 after total hip arthroplasty was the preoperative diagnosis of an inflammatory @entity2720 . Upper extremity @entity16 after total hip arthroplasty are rare. @entity1 with the preoperative diagnosis of an inflammatory @entity2720 are at greater risk for experiencing @entity16 . The prognosis is favorable, with 88% of @entity1 having complete recovery. Cautious induction of anesthesia and careful attention to @entity1 positioning in the perioperative, intraoperative, and postoperative period are essential to help minimize the incidence of @entity16 in the upper extremity after total hip arthroplasty.
