Pseudoaneurysm (PA) is a rare complication following pediatric foot surgery. Surgical ligation and excision effectively treated these PAs without compromising surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Vascular Surgery
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Pseudoaneurysm (PA) is an uncommon complication after pediatric foot surgery.
Understanding its incidence and clinical presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

Observation:

Four PAs were identified in 2,756 pediatric foot surgeries, yielding an incidence of 0.14%.
Patients presented 2-3 months post-operatively with a pulsatile, compressible mass on the plantar medial foot.

Findings:

Arteriography aided in surgical planning for PA intervention.
All identified PAs were successfully treated with ligation and excision.

Implications:

Surgical intervention for pseudoaneurysms in pediatric foot surgery is effective.
