Abstract

Painful muscle spasms are characterized by sudden onset of involuntary muscle contractions accompanying severe pain. The occurrence of painful muscle spasms after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is extremely rare in clinical practice. We report a case in which a patient developed painful muscle spasms after THA, and symptoms were controlled by oxcarbazepine.
