Abstract
We present a case report of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery after anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction using a bicortical tibial screw fixation 12 days
after surgery. Surgical exploration and repair of an intimal lesion of the popliteal
artery was performed. At 4-months’ follow-up, there was still sensory loss in areas
of the saphenous, medial plantar, calcaneal, and superficial peroneal nerves.
