Transient lateral patellar dislocation (TLPD) is a common lesion in young adults. Vascular injury as a complication of TLPD has not been previously described. We report a case of descending genicular artery (DGA) injury after TLPD. Immediate angiography demonstrated rupture of DGA. Embolization was performed with sudden interruption of bleeding. DGA injury should be considered as a complication after TLPD and prompt diagnosis and intervention are required. We propose selective embolization as a safe and effective procedure to stop bleeding.
暂时性外侧髌骨脱位(TLPD)是年轻成年人中的常见损伤。血管损伤作为TLPD的一种并发症此前尚未见报道。我们报告一例TLPD后膝降动脉(DGA)损伤的病例。即时血管造影显示DGA破裂。进行了栓塞,出血突然停止。DGA损伤应被视为TLPD后的一种并发症,需要及时诊断和干预。我们建议选择性栓塞作为一种安全有效的止血方法。
