AbstractSeven patients underwent release of the piriformis from the femur. Patients with residual symptoms after conservative treatment had dramatic relief of sciatica and 70% resumed customary work after surgery. Minimum followup was 31 montiis (average: 51 months). Early diagnosis can avoid prolonging ineffective empiric treatment and disability with
