Pseudoaneurysm complicating knee arthroscopy.
Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication of knee arthroscopy. Cases reported in the literature have involved the popliteal, superior and inferior medial geniculate, and the inferior lateral geniculate arteries. These cases have all been described as presenting within 2 to 3 weeks of the arthroscopic procedure. Described here are two unique cases, the first a delayed presentation and the second involving the recurrent anterior tibial artery.
