title: Pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery after Lisfranc amputation.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysm formation is usually associated with laceration, fracture, or iatrogenic arterial injury. However, it may also develop as a result of blunt trauma. We report the case of a pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery after a Lisfranc amputation in an individual with diabetes mellitus, Charcot joint changes in the left forefoot, and atherosclerosis of the distal vessels.
