Two cases of post-traumatic transection of the popliteal artery in patients with exostosis of the lower extremities are reported. This complication does not seem to have been previously described in the literature. The pathogenetic, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are analysed.

Surgical thrombectomy has been established as an effective treatment for acute limb ischemia (ALI). Nevertheless, manipulation via the common femoral artery (CFA) to retrieve thrombus in the infra-popliteal artery sometimes proves less effective. We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing surgical thrombectomy for infra-inguinal ALI from January 2010 to December 2022.

Purpose: Wide acceptance of arthroscopically treating posterolateral corner injuries has not occurred. There remains a fear of neurovascular (NV) injury while arthroscopically performing these reconstructions. The study's aim is to compare on Magnetic Resonance Scans the distance of the tibial tunnel in an arthroscopic popliteus tendon reconstruction (APB) and arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction (APC) to the popliteal neurosvascular bundle.

Objective: Pigs have long been employed as an animal model for knee-related diseases. However, vascular anatomy around the pig knee is rare. The objective of this study was to explore the vascular anatomy around the pig knee from the perspective of comparative medicine.

Proximal tibiofibular joint detachment (PTFJD) is a fibular untethering procedure during lateral closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCWHTO) for varus knee osteoarthritis. However, the PTFJD procedure is technically demanding, and confirmation of clear joint separation is not straightforward. The aim of this study was to compare the degree of completion and safety of PTFJD versus tibial-sided osteotomy (TSO); this latter procedure is our novel technique for fibular untethering during LCWHTO.

: Despite its advantages, lateral close-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCWHTO) requires proximal tibiofibular joint detachment (PTFJD) or fibular shaft osteotomy for gap closing. These fibula untethering procedures are technically demanding and not free from the risk of neurovascular injuries. Our novel fibula untethering technique, tibial-sided osteotomy (TSO) near the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ), aims to reduce technical demands and the risk of injury to the peroneal nerve and popliteal neurovascular structures.
