Résumé
We report a case of delayed presentation of popliteal artery laceration after arthroscopic meniscectomy. Three weeks after the procedure, the patient developed severe calf pain, swelling over the popliteal fossa, and foot drop, despite a normal initial postoperative period. Clinical examination and radiological investigations suggested a massive hematoma in the popliteal fossa. A decision was made to explore the popliteal artery and drain the hematoma after consultation with the vascular surgeon. A laceration was noted, and it was repaired. Orthopaedic surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion regarding the possibility of this postoperative complication, especially after an arthroscopic meniscectomy.
