Presentation
Stab to the posterior aspect of his right thigh about one week ago. Now he complains of limited movement of his thigh. Marker was applied to the stab site.
Patient Data
The stab track appears as a line of high signal intensity traversing the right gluteus maximus muscle reaching deep to the right sciatic nerve which appears mildly swollen showing a slight hyperintense signal (compared to the left side).
The right hamstring muscles (most evident at the semitendinosus) showing increased signal at STIR WI representing denervation injury.

Case Discussion
An example of a sciatic nerve injury after a stab wound with denervation changes in the hamstring muscles.
