Pseudoaneurysm of the genicular artery after wound closure using a skin stapler in a child
First published: 15 May 2012
Abstract
A 9-year-old child with a left humerus fracture also had minor skin cuts on the right knee, which were closed with a skin stapler. After 1 week, a medial superior genicular artery pseudoaneurysm developed, which was treated by ultrasound-guided compression. This case illustrates a unique complication of the use of a skin stapler device.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 41:316–318, 2013
