A professional footballer experienced a posterior tibial artery intimal tear from a minor ankle injury. This rare case highlights the need for high suspicion in diagnosing blunt arterial injuries, even from low-velocity trauma.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Blunt arterial injuries typically result from high-velocity trauma.
  • Intimal dissection is a common consequence of such injuries.
  • Diagnosis and management of arterial injuries are critical in athletes.

Observation:

  • A professional footballer sustained an intimal tear of the posterior tibial artery.
  • The injury occurred during a minor ankle eversion incident.
  • The demands of professional sports led to the timely detection of the injury.

Findings:

  • Arteriography confirmed an intimal tear in the posterior tibial artery.
  • The patient underwent successful bypass surgery using an arm vein graft.
  • This type of arterial intimal injury has not been previously reported with this mechanism.

Implications:

  • A high index of suspicion is necessary for diagnosing arterial intimal injuries, especially in athletes.
  • Prompt diagnosis and revascularization are crucial for limb salvage.
  • Treatment options include primary anastomosis or vein interposition grafting.
