  • Title: Compartment syndrome and popliteal vascular injury complicating unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
    Author: Kort NP, van Raay JJ, van Horn JR.
    Journal: J Arthroplasty; 2007 Apr; 22(3):472-6. PubMed ID: 17400107.
    Abstract:
    Popliteal vascular injury and the compartment syndrome of the leg are rare but important complications of knee arthroplasties. Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance in preventing the devastating complications of these conditions. To our knowledge, these complications have not been reported previously after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the literature. Low level of suspicion may delay the diagnosis, as popliteal vascular injury and compartment syndrome are not well recognized as possible complications of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
