Arthroscopic meniscectomy of the knee is generally a safe and effective procedure with a low rate of vascular complications. We report here on a unique case of a 55-year-old man with a lateral inferior genicular artery pseudoaneurysm and a concomitant arteriovenous fistula that developed after arthroscopic meniscectomy; this was successfully treated with selective angiographic embolization. This case illustrates the effectiveness of an endovascular approach as a minimally invasive treatment for this uncommon complication that occurs after an arthroscopic procedure.

A Novel Description of Medial Meniscus Vascularization: A Multicenter Study Introducing the "Medial Meniscal Artery".
Am J Sports Med

Division of Sports Medicine, Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: The microvasculature of the human meniscus has been previously described by Arnoczky and Warren. However, to date, the qualitative and quantitative extra-articular vascular anatomy of the medial meniscus has not been characterized.
Purposes: To perform a qualitative and quantitative anatomic study of the extra-articular medial meniscal vasculature and to introduce the novel "medial meniscal artery" (MMA), potentially providing future guidelines for the treatment of meniscal abnormalities.

Background: Radiofrequency ablation is a common non-opioid treatment to manage chronic knee pain. The inferior medial genicular nerve is conventionally targeted. It has been suggested that the infrapatellar branch (saphenous nerve) should also be targeted.

This review aimed to explore the therapeutic effect of bioabsorbable stents in the inferior genicular artery, from the emergence of absorbable bare metal stents to the latest technology in polymer and anti-proliferative eluting drugs mixed with coated bioresorbable vascular stents (BVSs). Currently, there are conflicting data regarding the safety and effectiveness of BVSs in infrapopliteal artery interventions, especially compared to the current generation of drug-eluting stents (DESs). This review will cover the existing data on BVSs in reconstructing the infrapopliteal arterial blood flow and active clinical trials for future iterations of BVSs.

Article Synopsis
- Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment for knee osteoarthritis, and this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of treating 2 nerve branches versus 3.
- The study involved 41 patients who were divided into two groups, one receiving treatment on 2 branches and the other on 3 branches, with pain and quality of life assessed before and after the procedure.
- Results showed notable improvements in pain and physical function for both groups, but no significant difference in effectiveness between the 2-branch and 3-branch treatments.

Purpose: The meniscal vascularization remains poorly documented, particularly its origin. The aim of this cadaveric study was to describe the origin of the arterial vascularization of the menisci.
Methods: This is an anatomical study on human specimens.
