Resumen (ES)
One case of posterior fracture-dislocation of the
hip without neurovascular injury is presented. Radicular pain
began two weeks after surgery. It was initially attributed to
surgery, or to the wound healing process. Electromyography,
clinical appearance and response to the treatment with aciclovir
led to the diagnosis of neuritis of the sciatic nerve by
varicela-zoster virus. Whenever a postoperative radiculalgia
appears, one must consider the possibility of an inflammtory
or infectious origin. Surgical manipulation could induce the
reactivation of a latent infection by varicela-zoster virus.
