AI Article Synopsis
- Osteochondroma is the most common benign bone tumor, primarily occurring in adolescents, and can sometimes lead to complications like pseudoaneurysms.
- A case study highlighted a 19-year-old male with pain and swelling in the thigh, where CT angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm near a femoral osteochondroma.
- Surgical intervention included repairing the pseudoaneurysm and removing the osteochondroma, emphasizing the need to monitor for such complications in young patients to avoid recurrence.
Article Abstract
Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bone, seen mostly during adolescence. In the current study, we report a 19-year-old male patient with a two-week history of pain and swelling of the medial side of his right thigh just above the knee without any trauma. CT angiography revealed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm and its close relationship with a femoral osteochondroma. Surgical repair consisted of repair of pseudoaneurysm and removal of osteochondroma. In young patients, a non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of distal femoral artery may be a complication of an osteochondroma and this treatable pathology should be looked for to prevent recurrence.

Purpose: To clarify the location of the popliteal artery (PA) is relative to the tibial osteotomy plane in patients with medial and lateral unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (KOA) undergoing UKA.
Methods: Preoperative MRI and postoperative radiographs obtained from 50 patients with unicompartmental KOA who underwent fixed-bearing UKA were analyzed. The amount of tibial resection was determined from the surgical records, and a line was drawn parallel to the tibial posterior tilt angle on the sagittal MR image to create a virtual tibial cut line.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms are rare, especially from acupuncture-related trauma. We report a 67-year-old male with hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), who developed a popliteal pseudoaneurysm after acupuncture. Imaging confirmed the pseudoaneurysm and a 55 mm AAA.
