Description

Hip fractures are amongst the most treated conditions by orthopaedic surgeons1 and are routinely treated with cephalomedullary nails (CMN)s.

Pseudoaneurysm formation is a rare complication after femoral CMN. The primary cause of pseudoaneurysm formation in previous studies has been found to be related to overpenetration of the far cortex with a drill or screw.

Patients with neuromuscular diseases may have aberrant anatomy potentially leading to increased risk of pseudoaneurysm formation

This the first case report of a patient with post-polio syndrome who developed a symptomatic deep femoral artery pseudoaneurysm status post short CMN fixation for a basicervical femoral neck fracture (FNF). Here we describe the work up and management of this uncommon complication.
