AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION OF TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

A CASE REPORT

T. G. McWilliams, BSc, MB BS, Senior House Officer in Vascular Surgery; C. L. Poon, BSc, MB ChB, MRCP, FRCR, Senior Registrar in Radiology; and C. N. McCollum, MD, FRCS, Professor of Surgery

South Manchester University Hospital Trust, Withington Hospital, Nell Lane, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 8LR, UK.

Correspondence should be sent to Professor C. N. McCollum.

After total knee replacement a 57-year-old woman developed increasing pain in her left calf on exercise. This was due to erosion of the popliteal artery by a spur of cement. Removal of the spur with resection and Dacron grafting of the damaged section of the vessel cured her symptoms.
