There are various causes of the formation of arterial pseudoaneurysms, including trauma, surgical procedures, infection and iatrogenic injuries. A popliteal aneurysm was detected in a patient with pain and discomfort in his leg. The patient had a history of knee surgery. The aneurysm was treated surgically. Aneurysms following penetrating arterial injury resulting from surgical intervention requiring the use of surgical devices is one of the possible traumatic causes.

This is a case report of recurrent hemarthrosis of the knee joint over 3 months. The patient, a 47-year-old male had three arthroscopic procedures with multiple joint punctures over a 3-month-period prior to our initial consultation. The first procedure (arthroscopic synovectomy) was done for suspected infection following a series of hyaluronic acid injections. Recurrent hemarthrosis developed subsequent to this. Upon further evaluation, a pseudoaneurysm of the superior middle genicular artery was detected and successfully treated with selective angiographic embolization.

Introduction Although open-surgical techniques for the reconstruction of the posterolateral corner (PLC) are well established, the use of arthroscopic procedures has recently increased. When compared with open surgical preparation, arthroscopic orientation in the PLC is challenging and anatomic relations may not be familiar. Nevertheless, a profound knowledge of anatomic key structures and possible structures at risk as well as technical variations of arthroscopic approaches are mandatory to allow a precise and safe surgical intervention. Materials and methods In a cadaveric video demonstration, an anterolateral (AL), anteromedial (AM), posteromedial (PM) and posterolateral (PL) portal, as well as a transseptal approach (TSA) were developed. Key structures of the PLC were defined and sequentially exposed during posterolateral arthroscopy. Finally, anatomic relations of all key structures were demonstrated. Results All key structures of the PLC can be visualized during arthroscopy. Thereby, careful portal placement is crucial in order to allow an effective exposure. Two alternatives of the TSA were described, depending on the region of interest. The peroneal nerve can be visualized dorsal to the biceps femoris tendon (BT), lateral to the soleus muscle (SM) and about 3 cm distal to the fibular styloid (FS). The distal attachment of the fibular collateral ligament (FCL) can be exposed on the lateral side of the fibular head (FH). The fibular attachment of the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) is exposed at the tip of the FS. Conclusion Arthroscopy of the posterolateral recessus allows full visualization of all key structures of the posterolateral corner, which provides the basis for anatomic and safe drill channel placement in PLC reconstruction. A sufficient exposure of relevant anatomic landmarks and precise portal preparation reduce the risk of iatrogenic vascular and peroneal nerve injury.
