Arterial complications following total knee replacement are uncommon. This report details two cases of lower limb ischemia after ipsilateral knee surgery, discussing injury mechanisms and clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common orthopedic procedure.
  • Vascular complications, though rare, can occur after TKR.
  • Prompt identification and management are crucial for limb salvage.

Observation:

  • Two patients developed lower limb ischemia after ipsilateral TKR.
  • Ischemia presented as reduced blood flow to the leg.
  • Symptoms included pain, pallor, and pulselessness.

Findings:

  • The study investigates the link between TKR and arterial complications.
  • Analysis of the mechanism of injury causing ischemia.
  • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of vigilance for vascular complications post-TKR.
  • Informs surgical planning and patient selection to minimize risk.
  • Emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary management involving orthopedic and vascular specialists.
