Gefäßverletzung bei Umstellungsosteotomie
摘要
Vascular injury represents the most serious complication of corrective osteotomies. This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with popliteal artery injury during femoral torsional osteotomy. The injury was successfully treated with a saphenous bypass. Adequate dorsal soft tissue protection during corrective osteotomy is of utmost importance to protect vessels from injury. Furthermore, every surgeon performing osteotomies must have a vascular surgeon available for emergencies.
