Abstract

Popliteal artery injury is associated with high energy injury, including knee dislocation and complex tibial plateau fractures or supracondylar femur fractures. Delay in its diagnosis is the leading cause of amputation in this limb-threatening injury and the failure to revascularize within 6–8 hours results in an unacceptably high amputation rate.
