Summary

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare knee arthroscopy complication. This study details two unique cases, including a delayed presentation and one involving the recurrent anterior tibial artery, expanding knowledge of this rare event.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Knee arthroscopy is a common orthopedic procedure.
  • Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare but serious complication following knee arthroscopy.
  • Literature reports typically describe pseudoaneurysms involving specific genicular arteries within 2-3 weeks post-procedure.

Observation:

  • This report presents two unique cases of pseudoaneurysm formation after knee arthroscopy.
  • The first case demonstrates a delayed presentation of pseudoaneurysm.
  • The second case involves an unusual pseudoaneurysm of the recurrent anterior tibial artery.

Findings:

  • Pseudoaneurysms can present later than the typical 2-3 week window post-arthroscopy.
  • The recurrent anterior tibial artery is a potential, previously unreported, arterial site for pseudoaneurysm formation after knee arthroscopy.

  • These findings expand the spectrum of arterial involvement and presentation timelines for post-arthroscopic pseudoaneurysms.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of delayed presentations and involvement of the recurrent anterior tibial artery is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • This can lead to improved patient outcomes by facilitating earlier detection and intervention for these rare vascular complications.
    • Further research into the mechanisms and risk factors for these unique presentations may refine arthroscopic techniques and patient selection.
