ABSTRACT

Tibial plateau fractures are common fractures associated with high-energy trauma. The treatment of these fractures remains a challenge today. Recent management of fractures has moved from open surgery toward minimally invasive surgery to reduce complications and improve functional outcomes. Nevertheless, such a minimalistic approach makes visualization of neurovascular structures difficult, placing them at risk. We report the case of a 39-year-old male who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the anterior tibial artery following minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of the right proximal tibia. Diagnosis was made through noninvasive duplex ultrasound and was referred to endovascular service. Understanding of the anatomy of the surgical site is vital to minimize complications. In addition, proper postsurgical patient evaluation is important to monitor the insurgence of such complications.
