Abstract
This report documents a rare case of arterial aneurysm following a closed midshaft tibial and fibular fracture. Briefly, a 17-year-old female suffered a traumatic lower extremity fracture and was treated by intramedullary nailing of the tibia. After an uneventful postoperative course, she noted a painful and pulsating swelling of the lateral aspect of the lower extremity about 2 weeks post op. Diagnostic ultrasound confirmed formation of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery adjacent to the fibular fracture. Subsequent endovascular treatment using coil-embolization was successful. Bony healing occurred in a timely fashion and the patient returned to pain free semi-professional sports activities.
期刊介绍：
Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
