Arterial complications of total knee replacement. The Australian experience
Rush-J-H. Vidovich [m-J-D. Johnson-M-A. J-Bone-Joint-Surg-[Br]. 1987 May. 69(3). P 400-2. Arterial complications occurring in association with [1mknee [m replacement surgery are rare, even though most patients having this operation are elderly and therefore more likely to have peripheral vascular disease. We report a patient who developed an arterial complication during the course of a [1mknee [m replacement operation, as well as the results of a survey of Fellows of the Australian Orthopaedic Association. Recommendations to minimise this serious complication are proposed. Author-abstract.
