Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Complications following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are rare, but injuries to the popliteal artery can occur. Popliteal pseudoaneurysms are a potential complication and can cause significant morbidity if not diagnosed and treated promptly.
CASES DESCRIPTION: We describe the cases of two patients who developed nerve injuries following arthroscopic ACLR, with subsequent diagnosis of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm. The peroneal nerve recovered spontaneously in both cases, while the tibial nerve was reconstructed using autologous nerve grafting. Satisfying, functional recoveries were observed 24 months postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of popliteal pseudoaneurysms are crucial to prevent further complications. However, timely diagnosis can be challenging due to inconsistent clinical presentations and a low index of suspicion. This case report highlights the need for increased awareness of this uncommon complication and provides insights into its pathophysiological mechanisms.
