“…Matziolis et al reviewed six reports and in a total of 31 cases of popliteal artery occlusions after TKA, amputations were performed in 11 cases. Chokesy et al also reviewed that in 29 knees complicated with thrombosis after TKA, 11 cases required amputation . Arterial complications after TKA are relatively uncommon but cause a catastrophic result if not managed properly.…”

“…The artifacts caused by the prostheses make computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) insufficient for an early and precise diagnosis. A Doppler ultrasound should be performed first, but thereafter angiography gives us the precise location of the lesion and can work as a less invasive approach for endovascular therapy .…”

“…The mechanism of pseudoaneurysm formation may be direct, as a result of a partial tear on the arterial wall, or indirect due to mechanical stretching or thermal injury from the cement [14] , [15] , [16] . Often, pseudoaneurysm can be misdiagnosed as deep vein thrombosis [7] , [17] , [18] .…”

Popliteal 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 injuries were managed eventually by open surgery. Postoperative clinical examination and ultrasound imaging confirmed the successful restoration of the blood flow. This case report also describes the classification system of the type of vascular damage and describes the mechanism, the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities and treatment options for these rare complications of total knee arthroplasty surgery.
