An Uncommon Complication of Arteriovenous Fistula Following Intramedullary Nail Distal Locking – A Case Report
INTRODUCTION: An arterial pseudo aneurysm formation is an unusual complication following intramedullary nail distal locking screw insertion. During such surgical procedure, arterial laceration might damage the wall, allowing blood leakage into the soft- tissue surrounding. Only few records are avail...

description | INTRODUCTION: An arterial pseudo aneurysm formation is an unusual complication following intramedullary nail distal locking screw insertion. During such surgical procedure, arterial laceration might damage the wall, allowing blood leakage into the soft- tissue surrounding. Only few records are available regarding such injuries. CASE REPORT: A 19-year-old male diagnosed with femoral shaft fracture after a trauma event, was treated using Antegrade Long Intra-Medullary Nail with distal locking screw. Following post-operative serial blood count indicating a consistent decrease in his Haemoglobin levels, a Computed Tomography angiogram was performed and showed an arteriovenous fistula of the lateral superior geniculate artery. The artery was coiled, and haemoglobin levels were stabilized again. CONCLUSION: A distal interlocking screw should be carefully placed, including blunt dissection before the drilling and screw placement. In addition, blood counts were proved essential in routine. |
