Abstract

Neurovascolar injuries during knee surgery are possible but uncommon, with a reported incidence in literature of 0.2–3%. The vascular anatomy of the knee is complicated, with multiple connections between the geniculate arteries. The aim of this manuscript is to review the complication rate in different kind of surgeries, the correlated anatomy and the potential risk factors.
