Description
Bahman Rasuli and co-authors report a hidden nerve injury behind a man's failing foot, six months after a buttock stab wound. The first hospital visit stopped the bleeding and closed the skin. Early nerve signs were missed. Their 2026 case is a healthy 40-year-old with creeping numbness and a disturbed gait. Scans of the foot showed swollen, altered muscles inside it.
That pattern marks denervation: muscles starved of their nerve supply. Tracing the wound's path pointed to a branch of the sciatic nerve, cut at the buttock. The lesson is plain: any deep wound along a major nerve's course deserves a nerve check at once. Late finds risk muscle death that no therapy can undo.
