Abstract

We describe a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the superior medial genicular artery following arthroscopic knee surgery, which was diagnosed by means of computed tomography and arterial duplex ultrasound. The treatment consisted of surgical exploration with excision of the pseudoaneurysm, followed by ligation of the feeding artery.
