Abstract | Vascular damage after total knee arthroplasty is rare. However, delayed diagnosis and management may cause adverse outcomes for patients. In particular, direct thermal injury to the popliteal artery after total knee arthroplasty is extremely rare. A 74-year-old woman presented to another institution with a left popliteal artery injury after left total knee arthroplasty. Arteriography revealed total occlusion of the popliteal artery, and emergency surgery was performed. Because of the total occlusion of the popliteal artery due to severe direct thermal injury, anastomosis was performed in an end-to-end fashion with a right great saphenous vein graft. At the time of discharge, she had no specific symptoms other than pain at the surgical site, with a palpable left dorsalis pedis pulse. While performing total knee arthroplasty, the anatomical position of the popliteal artery should be carefully considered to prevent injury. |
