Introduction:
Pseudoaneurysms of arteries are not uncommon complications of vessel handling during surgery. Early identification and management is important to prevent disastrous complications such as rupture and thrombosis.
Case Report:
We describe a case of a 28-year-old male who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery after being operated by plating for a mid-shaft radius fracture. He presented 2 weeks after surgery with swelling over the forearm which was confirmed to be a pseudoaneurysm after computed tomography angiography. It was treated with surgical excision and end-to-end anastomosis.
Conclusion:
A high index of suspicion must be maintained about the occurrence of this complication secondary to both trauma and surgery.

Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...
