Abstract
Introduction
A pathological connection between artery and joint cavity is an exceptionally rare phenomenon and may result from previous trauma or surgical intervention.
Report
We report a unique case of recurrent, spontaneous haemarthrosis and limb ischaemia caused by an arterio-articular fistula between the popliteal artery and knee joint in a young man with a history of previous tibial plateau fracture.
Discussion
We discuss the likely aetiology, investigation and management of this unusual case with reflection that not only immediate but also delayed vascular compromise should be considered in cases of lower limb fracture.
