Abstract

The indications and applications of arthroscopic surgery for the knee joint have increased with the development in surgical techniques and the improvement of arthroscopic equipment. The use of arthroscopic surgery has led to a significant decrease in morbidity for the patient with intra-articular abnormalities, in terms of both the diagnosis and the surgical treatments. Even though arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique with relatively low morbidity, it is not without risk of complications, of which neurovascular complications are among the most serious and devastating. Here we report on 2 cases of popliteal artery injury during arthroscopic knee surgery and its specific diagnosis and treatment.

외과적 술기와 장비의 발달로 인하여 최소 침습적인 관절경 수술이 최근 급격히 발전하고 있지만 신경 혈관 손상과 같은 중요한 합병증 역시 보고되고 있다. 이러한 외상성 슬와동맥 손상의 경우 수술의 적응증과 치료전략은 급.만성 하지 동맥 폐색증과 다른데, 저자들은 본원에서 경험한 관절경 시술 후 발생한 2예의 슬와동맥 손상의 임상경험을 진단 및 치료 전략에 대한 문헌 고찰과 더불어 보고한다.
