Urgent surgery is crucial for popliteal vascular trauma to prevent limb loss. Prompt diagnosis and intervention, including arterial and venous repair, are vital for successful outcomes in knee dislocation and crush injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Popliteal vascular trauma often results from knee dislocations or crush injuries.
  • Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to severe complications, including limb ischemia and amputation.

Observation:

  • This study presents 6 cases of popliteal vascular trauma, with 3 from posterior knee dislocation and 3 from crush injuries.
  • Patients experienced delayed surgical intervention due to unnecessary prior investigations.

Findings:

  • All patients presented with distal ischemia and required reconstructive surgery.
  • Two patients ultimately underwent below-knee amputation due to irreversible ischemia and sepsis.
  • Urgent surgical intervention is paramount for popliteal vascular trauma presenting with ischemia.

Implications:

  • Intraoperative angiography may be necessary for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Reconstruction of both artery and vein is essential in cases of concomitant venous damage.
  • Fasciotomy and debridement are critical components of surgical management.
  • Occult popliteal vascular injuries pose a diagnostic challenge for emergency room surgeons due to potentially mild initial presentations.
