Delayed femoral artey thrombosis after hemi arthroplasty of hip- a case report.

ABSTRACT: Vascular complications following hip-arthroplasty (HA) are rare. Delayed vascular complications are exceptional with handful of reports. We report a case of femoral artery thrombosis following hemi arthroplasty with delayed presentation after a bone fragment left in situ penetrated and injured the vessel. This report is a revelation for surgeons who need to be extremely careful while operating as well as be vigilant with patients in their follow up and should assess for vascular status at each visit.
