Double Major for Slashing: Management of Blunt Popliteal Fossa Trauma in Ice Hockey in the Setting of Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome

We present a unique case that highlights a blunt popliteal artery injury in a young player with an underlying type 2 PAES. We discuss the initial diagnosis and endovascular/vascular surgical treatment, followed by the delayed management of the popliteal artery injury. We also provide considerations for popliteal fossa blunt trauma and need for future protection of the popliteal fossa for athletes.
