“…Without a clear history of trauma, the lesion may mimic some soft tissue conditions like abscesses or neoplasms [18] . The time from injury to PSA presentation is variable although in the commonest situation, minimal arterial wall damage allows only a slow progression in size with a subsequent later presentation many months after injury [19] . Unless hemodynamic instability and high clinical suspicion of active bleeding prompts a diagnosis of the rupture of the artery and pseudoaneurysm [20] .…”

HighlightsPseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas.We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma.As these cases illustrate, the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of deep femoral artery following trauma and orthopedic procedures requires awareness and a high index of suspicion.

The incidence of hip fracture has been on the increase and projected to be higher than 6 million cases by the year 2050. Complications due to surgical fixation of hip fractures include, but are not limited to, infection, mal or nonunion, avascular necrosis, hardware failure, neurovascular injuries, and death. Vascular complications after surgical hip fracture fixation are very rare. We report a patient who developed Pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery following an anterograde trochanteric entry long intramedullary nail for an unstable hip fracture. This patient presented 2 weeks postoperatively with weakness, dizziness, and loss of strength. Her hematocrit on presentation was 19.7, and the arterial duplex showed a 6 × 7 cm pseudoaneurysm in the profunda femoris artery. Vascular coil embolization was performed, and the patient fully recovered. Discussion of this particular case and complication along with a full literature review on the topic of pseudoaneurysm after fracture fixation is presented
