Tibial neuropathy caused by popliteal pseudoaneurysm following total knee arthroplasty
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Vascular injuries after total knee arthroplasty are uncommon but they can result in serious complications and poor clinical outcome. Early diagnosis and accurate management are important to achieve the best possible result, so postoperative vascular surveillance is advisable, specially with associated risk factors. Although the presence of neuropathy secondary to compression by an expanding pseudoaneurysm after total knee arthroplasty has been reported before, this is a unique case in which an isolated tibial neuropathy has been identified.

Popliteal pseudoaneurysm after unicompartmental knee replacement: a case report.
UNLABELLED Popliteal pseudoaneurysm is a rare but important complication of knee arthroplasties. To our knowledge, this complication has not been reported previously in the literature after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Apart from intraoperatively caused arterial injuries, obese patients and other previous cardiovascular diseases may be potential factors of risks for pseudoaneurysm in kne...
متن کاملPopliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
An early diagnosis of popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm-a sequela of popliteal artery trauma-is difficult owing to its late presentation following total knee arthroplasty. The incidence of a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm with a hematoma presenting only a peripheral nerve injury after total knee arthroplasty is also uncommon in the absence of common diagnostic features such as a pulsatile swelli...
متن کاملFalse aneurysm of the anterior tibial artery following total knee arthroplasty.
We report a case of false aneurysm involving a branch of the anterior tibial artery following total knee arthroplasty, which presented as an enlarging swelling over the antero-lateral aspect of the leg. False aneurysms are a rare complication of total knee replacement and most of those that do occur arise from the popliteal artery. The swelling was investigated and diagnosed as a false aneurysm...

The popliteal tendon has been known to catch over a femoral osteophyte or the overhanging edge of the femoral component very occasionally following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, impingement of the popliteal tendon against the posterior edge of the tibial liner is rare. Although its pathological mechanism is simple, this complication cannot be definitively diagnosed unless posterior ar...
متن کاملPopliteal 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...
