Excess hip replacement cement linked to femoral pseudoaneurysm and acute arterial occlusion requiring amputation.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the anatomical risk of femoral artery injury and subsequent pseudoaneurysm formation during total hip replacement surgery.

Nishimaki et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Femoral pseudoaneurysm with acute arterial occlusion (n=1). Total hip replacement was evaluated. A 59-year-old woman developed a right femoral pseudoaneurysm and acute arterial occlusion requiring below-knee amputation due to continuous contact with excess cement used during total hip replacement.
