Abstract

Objectives: analyzing clinica, neuromuscular electrophysiology, assessment rate, vulnerability of  patients with sciatic nerve injury due to trauma.  Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study of 64 case of injury  to the sciatic nerve and its branches due to trauma went to Viet Duc hospital for examination and electrophysiology from 7/2020 to 7/2021. Results: Knee injury accounts for  45,2%, 54,8% of case have common peroneal nerve damage, 64,5 % of case have complete injury. The rate of spontaneous electrical activity is 95,2%. Conclusions: The clinical and electrodiagnostic symptoms of the sciatic nerve and its branches due  injury are  variety, depending on the location, duration and  morphology  of  the  lesion.
