Abstract

Limb ischemia following vascular compression secondary to implant impingement is a rare scenario. Generally it is seen in neglected cases where early management has not been done. We present a case of distal lower limb ischemia, which occurred chronically due to impingement by a broken implant on superficial femoral artery. The management of this complicated case has been described in the present case report.

Keywords :Amputation, Implant Impingement, Implant Breakage, Ischemia
