ABSTRACT

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is now a standard treatment for serious osteoarthritis all over the world. Although it is a standard treatment, it has many complications, among which deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the exclusive blood vessel complication that has been reported. However, we found a new blood vessel complication of TKA in this study, which is spontaneous arteriorrhexis in the affected lower limb.
