Pseudoaneurysm of the Popliteal Artery After (Revision) Knee Arthroplasty

Pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery is a rare complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a reported incidence of 0.0095% to 0.088%. We describe the case of a 66-year-old female who underwent conversion of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (2014) to a TKA because of instability symptoms....
