title: [Injury of the popliteal artery].
abstract: Injuries to the lower limbs are now commonplace, in particular due to the increased number of car accidents, work accidents, injuries from knives or fire arms, or sporting injuries. The popliteal artery is involved in 6% of all these injuries. A clinical case is described of a subject who was injured, causing laceration to the popliteal artery, and brought to our attention six months after the event.
