Case report: Bilateral Popliteal Artery Thrombosis from Traumatic Knee Dislocation
نویسنده
چکیده
Knee dislocations are a relatively uncommon occurrence in the trauma patient. However, sequelae may be disastrous if this condition and its complications are not recognized early. Perhaps the most significant complication is popliteal artery injury, occurring in 10-32% of knee dislocations (1). This frequent complication can result in amputation (3,6,16). Popliteal artery injury from knee dislocations has been well described in the literature, however, there are very few reports of bilateral popliteal artery injury. We report a case of this injury from blunt trauma as a consequence of a motor vehicle accident. MeSH Words: Trauma, Popliteal Artery, Knee Dislocation
