Abstract
The complication rate of popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm was comparable to the literature. Recognition was identified as a problem. An appreciation of the mechanisms of injury and an awareness of this potential complication among orthopedic surgeons are imperative in reducing the complication rate and interval to diagnosis. Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients with a clinical presentation of postoperative compartment syndrome or deep vein thrombosis, and examination of the popliteal pulse should be undertaken early.
