“…In another study, Tejero-Garcia et al. presented a case of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm after unicompartmental arthroplasty which was managed by resection of the part of the popliteal artery with the pseudoaneurysm and subsequent end-to-end anastomosis with a saphenous vein graft [29] .

Popliteal artery damage during total knee arthroplasty

Injury of popliteal artery during total knee arthroplasty is a relatively rare complication. We report on one case of transverse semi-dissection of the popliteal artery during the tibial cut and one case of popliteal pseudoaneurysm formation caused by Hohmann retractors. Diagnosis was made early in the first case but it was delayed in the second due to misdiagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. Both injuries were managed eventually by open surgery. Postoperative clinical examination and ultrasound imaging confirmed the successful restoration of the blood flow. This case report also describes the classification system of the type of vascular damage and describes the mechanism, the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and treatment options for these rare complications of total knee arthroplasty surgery.

“…Symptoms are usually evident in the immediate postoperative period, around the first 15 days [6], although in up to 40% of cases the diagnosis is made delayed, between the first and fourth month after surgery [1,7]. Typically, it presents as pulsatile mass at popliteal fossa, associated with pain, bruising and/or edema, and sometimes paraesthesia due to the compression of peroneal nerve [1,[3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11].…”

“…oma with swelling of the popliteal region [1,[3][4][5][6][7][9][10][11][12]. Its presentation is similar to deep vein thrombosis, so the differential diagnosis is usually made after ultrasound [6,10]. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent associated complications.…”

High tibial osteotomy is an established method in treatment of medial knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity in younger patients. The popliteal artery is vulnerable to injury during surgeries performed around the knee joint. Pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery following medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy is rare. A femoral angiogram revealed a pseudoaneurysm arising from the popliteal artery near the osteotomy site. Careful placement of retractors around the osteotomy site during sawing and flexing the knee to displace the popliteal artery away are recommended to prevent this complication. We report on the case of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery complicating medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy that was treated clinically and radio-graphically with literature reviews.
