Pseudoaneurysm of the Anterior Tibial Artery following Ankle Arthroscopy in a Soccer Player

Figure 8

Photographic images taken during repair of the anterior tibial artery injury demonstrated that the pseudoaneurysm was caused by disruption of the posterior third of the anterior tibial artery wall (arrow) on the anterior side of the ankle joint (a). The injured anterior tibial artery wall was repaired using an end-to-end anastomosis longitudinally (arrow head), without compromising the blood supply to the foot (b).
