… The case report is of a 30-year male patient who had a fracture shaft of femur
and after open reduction and internal fixation developed swelling which was painful and was
present on the medial aspect of the thigh. It was decided to do an angiogram as the swelling
was expansile and confirmed superficial femoral artery pseudo aneurysm and the reason was
thought to be over penetration of the bit of the drill while doing the surgery for shaft of femur
fracture. Treatment decided by the multidisciplinary team was to remove the condylar buttress
plate, resection of the aneurysm and repair of the aneurysm with inter-positional graft
