Core Tip	Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is a viable treatment option after a failed hip arthroplasty due to severe periprosthetic infections, poor bone stock, damaged pelvitrochanteric muscles, or comorbid disease. We initially treated a patient with bilateral GRA, who subsequently developed femoral nerve palsy. We investigated the femoral nerve anatomy after GRA in four cadavers (a total of eight hips). We detected migration of the femoral nerves, which caused stress at the lateral oblique femoral nerve division where the major psoas muscle acted as a hindrance. The partial femoral nerve palsy after GRA leads to poor functional outcomes.
