[Method] The four cases of acetabular fracture with sciatic nerve injury in patients with facial nerve surgery, analysis of its clinical features, examination findings and intraoperative findings, the disease mechanisms of injury, diagnosis and treatment were discussed. [Results] The four cases of sciatic nerve injury in acetabular fracture surgery in patients with clinical manifestations and findings are differences in functional recovery after tibial nerve better functional recovery somewhat less common peroneal nerve. [Conclusion] sciatic nerve injury in acetabular fracture with a complex injury mechanism, diagnosis and treatment are different from the general nerve entrapment disease. Keywords: Acetabulum; fracture; sciatic nerve; wounds and injuries; microsurgery Sciatic nerve injury in pelvic fracture caused by injury mechanism and prognosis have been more reported in the literature [1,2]. This paper aims to retrospective analysis in 1997 and 2007 were treated four cases of acetabular fracture with sciatic nerve injury in patients with clinical data, from the neurological point of view of microsurgical repair of sciatic nerve injury diagnosis and treatment of such features. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information This group 4 cases, 2 males and 2 females; aged 21 to 47 years of age; course of 50 d ~ 6 months; both a car accident injury; acetabular fractures based on Letournel Category: 3 cases of acetabular posterior wall fractures, hip posterior wall and posterior column acetabular fracture in 1 case.
