HighlightsPseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas.We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma.As these cases illustrate, the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of deep femoral artery following trauma and orthopedic procedures requires awareness and a high index of suspicion.

In this paper, we report a case of a 17 year old woman with opened elbow dislocation with arterial injury associated to an artery variation: "accessory brachial artery"
