Title: Pseudoaneurysm of external iliac artery and compression of external iliac vein after total hip arthroplasty
Abstract: Serious vascular injury as a delayed complication of total hip arthroplasty is unusual. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery and compression of the external iliac vein following loss of acetabular fixation in an uninfected case is reported. There is no previous report of such a complication occurring in the absence of infection, which is considered by some as the main predisposing factor for the event.
