Injury to the popliteal artery.
Popliteal artery injury is a common clinical problem which has been associated with a relatively high rate of limb loss. Proper management of popliteal artery injury, which includes attention to minimizing delay, repair of venous injury, careful technique and appropriate fasciotomy can result in substantial improvement in the rate of limb salvage following popliteal artery injury.
