Abstract
Arterial complications following Total Knee Replacement are uncommon. We present a case of false aneurysm of the superior lateral geniculate artery presenting in the immediate postoperative period with continued bleeding from the surgical wound. This is the first case of false aneurysm of this vessel described following Total Knee Replacement. A method of treatment is outlined. Early consultation with vascular surgery colleagues is recommended to prevent delayed diagnosis of serious vascular complications.
