Preventİng sciatic nerve injury due to intramusculer injection malpractİce: a literature revİew and ten years single center experience

Abstract: The occurrence of sciatic neuropathy after gluteal injection causing permanent sequelae and leading to medicolegal problems is relatively rare. We suggest a double quadrant drawing technique in each gluteal region. We also draw attention to this issue with postgraduate and in-service training programs of medical staff, and providing continuity in education can reduce this serious complication.

“…Iatrogenic neuritis and neuropathy are not uncommon after injection and they should be added to the differential after a patient presents with pain seemingly out of proportion to examination findings [19][20]. Some suggest in-service training for staff using techniques for reducing the risk of serious complications, emphasizing site identification and proper hand placement [1]. A recent study found that many nurses were not explicitly taught in training about nerve sites relevant to injection [1].…”

“…Some suggest in-service training for staff using techniques for reducing the risk of serious complications, emphasizing site identification and proper hand placement [1]. A recent study found that many nurses were not explicitly taught in training about nerve sites relevant to injection [1]. Increased education for physicians using the biopsychosocial model can help treat new neuroinflammatory symptoms, and possibly avoid wastebasket diagnosis [8].…”

“…The common peroneal nerve (CPN) component is affected more than the tibial nerve, however, Krasnikova [68] reported that post-injection SN injury can often also be seen in pediatric cases. Mentioned injected materials causing SN neuritis included: NSAIDs, penicillin G, diazepam, and chlorpromazine [69,70]. Following injection, there may be a direct needle injury of the SN which later becomes inflamed, and potentially fibrosed; alongside chemical induced breakdown in the blood-nerve barrier, direct injury to both axon and Schwann cells occurs [71].…”
