Pseudoaneurysm of the Second Dorsal Metatarsal Artery: Case Report and Literature Review. Clin Med Insights Arthritis Musculoskelet Disord. 2019;12:1179544119849886 Authors: Kinter CW, Hodgkins CW Abstract Pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of foot and ankle surgeries that can potentially lead to serious sequelae, especially when there is delay in the diagnosis. Due to the rarity of this occurrence, guidelines for management are limited for orthopedic surgeons. Once diagnosed, the surgeon has to decide quickly on many options for how to best manage the patient. In this case report, we present the occurrence of a dorsal second metatarsal artery pseudoaneurysm that occurred after removal of hardware. We also discuss the most current literature on the subject to help guide other surgeons in the diagnosis and management of this condition. PMID: 31205430 [PubMed]
