Popliteal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Re-Revision Using a Rigidfix Cross Pin

چکیده
Popliteal artery injury is a very rare complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The authors experienced a case of popliteal arterial pseudoaneurysm after re-revision of ACL reconstruction using Rigidfix for femoral tunnel fixation. Pseudoaneurysm was detected in knee magnetic resonance imaging, which caused pain, limit of motion, common peroneal nerve palsy, leg swelling and symptoms similar to compartment syndrome. After excision and re-anastomosis of the popliteal artery using a greater saphenous vein graft, all symptoms were resolved within 3 months except for common peroneal nerve palsy. So we report on this case with a review of the literature.

متن کاملDelayed Pseudoaneurysm of the Popliteal Artery Following ACL Reconstruction.
Arterial complications following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of the knee are rare. Injuries to vascular structures around the knee have historically been reported more commonly, with reconstructive procedures occurring more posteriorly, such as posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The authors present a report of sequelae following a postoperative po...
