Abstract

CARVALHO, André et al. Pseudaneurisma da artéria tibial anterior: Complicações na artroscopia anterior do tornozelo. Rev. Port. Ortop. Traum. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp.91-97. ISSN 1646-2122.

The technical development of ankle arthroscopy has allowed remarkable advances in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures associated with low morbidity. It is, however, described a rate of complications varying from 3 to 17%. The authors present a case of pseudaneurysm of anterior tibial artery after anterior ankle arthroscopy (synovectomy and exostosectomy), an extremely rare complication (<1%) with standard anteromedial and anterolateral portals. After diagnosis the patient was referred to vascular surgery and has been treated with good clinical outcome. Discussion of the incidence of complications in ankle arthroscopy, particularly anterior tibial artery pseudaneurysm, subsequent interventions and current treatment options.

Keywords : Ankle arthroscopy; anterior tibial artery; complications; pseudaneurysm.
