Abstract:
Acute popliteal artery thrombosis is a rare and limb-threatening traumatic event. It can lead to soft-tissue necrosis or even amputation of the lower limb. In patients suffering from trauma around the knee joint, the clinician should be highly vigilant to risk of popliteal artery acute thrombosis. It is essential to detect and treat acute popliteal artery thrombosis timely for limb salvaging. We present a case of acute popliteal artery thrombosis resulting from a closed comminuted tibia fracture and discuss its injury mechanism, diagnostic methods, and treatment measures.

Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
