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.
