Iatrogenic Lesion of the Lateral Plantar Artery following Plantar Fasciotomy for Cavus Foot Correction – A Case Report

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to report a patient with a iatrogenic lesion of the lateral plantar artery following plantar fasciotomy (PF) for cavus foot correction, an extremely rare complication. CASE REPORT: A 13-year-old male patient with bilateral cavus foot was surgically treated at...

description INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to report a patient with a iatrogenic lesion of the lateral plantar artery following plantar fasciotomy (PF) for cavus foot correction, an extremely rare complication. CASE REPORT: A 13-year-old male patient with bilateral cavus foot was surgically treated at the right foot. At 36 days follow-up, after plaster cast removal, a massive soft plantar bulge was located on the medial aspect of the foot. Once suture stiches removal was performed, a huge blood collection was evacuated, and active bleeding observed. Contrast-enhanced angio-CT revealed a lesion of the lateral plantar artery. A vascular suture was performed. At 5 months follow-up, the patient was pain-free in his foot. CONCLUSION: Despite a iatrogenic lesion of the plantar vascular structures following PF is extremely rare, it is a potential complication to consider. Meticulous attention to surgical technique and careful inspection of the foot the day after surgery, before patient discharge, are recommended.
