This case report details a pseudoaneurysm complication in the anterior tibial artery following intramedullary nail fixation for a tibia shaft fracture. It highlights a rare vascular injury associated with distal locking procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Tibia shaft fractures are common injuries requiring surgical intervention.
  • Intramedullary nailing is a standard treatment for tibia shaft fractures.
  • Distal locking of intramedullary nails is crucial for fracture stability.

Observation:

  • A patient developed a pseudoaneurysm of the anterior tibial artery.
  • This complication occurred after lateral to medial distal locking during intramedullary nail placement.
  • The pseudoaneurysm was identified as a potential risk following this specific surgical step.

Findings:

  • The case report documents a rare vascular complication.
  • Pseudoaneurysm formation in the anterior tibial artery is an uncommon sequela.

  • The mechanism may involve iatrogenic injury during the distal locking process.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of meticulous surgical technique during intramedullary nailing.
    • Awareness of potential vascular complications like pseudoaneurysm is crucial for orthopedic surgeons.
    • Further investigation into preventative measures for iatrogenic vascular injury during distal locking may be warranted.
