title: Pseudoaneurysm of the anterior tibial artery after ankle arthroscopy.
abstract: Ankle arthroscopy is believed to have the least vascular complications compared with other types of arthroscopies. We present a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the anterior tibial artery after ankle arthroscopy, an extremely rare complication that was treated surgically and had an uneventful recovery.
