 Popliteal artery occlusion is a rare vascular complication after blunt knee trauma and may lead to limb loss if diagnosis delayed. Development of collateral pathways misguide the surgeon in planning surgeries for defect reconstruction. We report case patient with popliteal resulting from dislocation fall height, which developed anteromedial ankle following orthopedic surgery. After reconstruction free flap, ischemia was observed foot arteriography confirmed well-developed arteries. The underwent femoro-popliteal bypass surgery salvation. At end recovery time, reconstructed cross leg flap
