  • Title: False aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery complicating fracture of the tibia and fibula.
    Author: Dreyfus U, Fishman J.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1980 Feb; 20(2):186-7. PubMed ID: 7354504.
    Abstract:
    A false aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery associated with a fracture of the tibia and fibula is described. A review of the English language literature of the last 15 years revealed only six other similar cases. The physician should bear in mind that a persisting painful swelling at the fracture site of the leg might be the only clinical sign of a false aneurysm developing in one of the tibial vessels.
