Delayed Arterial Occlusion Presenting as Foot Drop Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Varus Knee: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

We present a 69-year-old male with osteoarthritis of a varus mechanically aligned left knee that developed delayed arterial thrombosis after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requiring stenting and subsequent trans-metatarsal amputation. This case is unique since initial presentation involved ne...

This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion for vascular insult in patients undergoing correction of varus malalignment with initial complaints of neurologic dysfunction.https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/511967varus kneetotal knee arthroplastyvasculararterial injury
