Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication of knee arthroscopy. C ases reported in the literature have involved the popliteal, superior and inferior medial geniculate, and the inferior lateral,geniculate ar teries. These cases have all been described as presenting within 2 to 3 weeks of the arthroscopic procedure. Described here are two unique c ases, the first a delayed presentation and the second involving the re current anterior tibial artery.
