latrogenic arterial trauma associated with hip joint surgery: An overview

Late symptoms after hip fracture with displacement of the lesser trochanter - a case report

“…There are a few case reports on injury of the deep femoral or common femoral artery (Lazarides et al 1991, Karanikas et al 1993), but hardly any about complications from acute pressure on the femoral nerve, as in our case (Rokito et al 1993). Such complications are usually related to pressure from the avulsed lesser trochanter, but may also be due to a protruding screw if the fragment is fixated (Lazarides et al 1991, Karanikas et al 1993. MRI is helpful in determining the exact location of the fragment.…”

Pseudo-aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery as a late complication of hip fracture in a patient with myelodysplasia

“…6 Clinical signs of arterial injury may occur at the time of trauma with acute haemorrhage, or present later following development of a pseudo-aneurysm.…”

Dislocation of a bipolar hemiarthroplasty by a false aneurysm of the deep femoral artery

“…They may occur at the time of index injury or surgical intervention or during the postoperative period [4,5]. Although power drills and screws are common causes of false aneurysms, reports on injuries due to hip fracture fragments are limited [3,4,[6][7][8][9][10].…”
