An unusual complication of total knee replacement: a case report.
After total knee replacement a 57-year-old woman developed increasing pain in her left calf on exercise. This was due to erosion of the popliteal artery by a spur of cement. Removal of the spur with resection and Dacron grafting of the damaged section of the vessel cured her symptoms.
