Pseudoaneurysms of the genicular arteries represent an extremely rare clinical occurrence. Nevertheless, young and athletic subjects, who are frequently exposed to direct joint trauma and subsequent reconstructive orthopedic surgery, are especially prone to developing these lesions. The aim of the present report was to describe two cases of a genicular artery pseudoaneurysm observed in young and healthy athletic male patients and successfully managed by surgical excision.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms of the genicular arteries represent an extremely rare clinical occurrence. Nevertheless, young and athletic subjects, who are frequently exposed to direct joint trauma and subsequent reconstructive orthopedic surgery, are especially prone to developing these lesions. The aim of the present report was to describe two cases of a genicular artery pseudoaneurysm observed in young and healthy athletic male patients and successfully managed by surgical excision.
