Abstract
Throughout a clinical observation, we report a case of false aneurysm of tibial anterior artery after a total right knee arthroplasty in a 73-year-old woman. This case is characterized by the location of false aneurysm. In addition, the clinical symptoms are uncommon and hidden by the appearance of a hematoma in the knee with an embolic pulmonary context. The ultrasonographic exam and arteriography allow us to confirm the diagnosis at the fifth week after the operation. The latter arteriography allows us also to achieve a percutaneous embolization and to control the efficiency of the treatment. By this observation, we insist upon the difficulties and the late diagnosis of this uncommon complication, and we discuss its ways of treatment.
