Complete tibial nerve lesion secondary to postoperative popliteal pseudoaneurysm following anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopic reconstruction: A series of two patients.
Article in Surgical neurology international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Complications following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are rare, but injuries to the popliteal artery can occur. Popliteal pseudoaneurysms are a potential complication and can cause significant morbidity if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Cases Description: We describe the cases of two patients who developed nerve injuries following arthroscopic ACLR, with subsequent diagnosis of a popliteal pseudoaneurysm. The peroneal nerve recovered spontaneously in both cases, while the tibial nerve was reconstructed using autologous nerve grafting. Satisfying, functional recoveries were observed 24 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of popliteal pseudoaneurysms are crucial to prevent further complications. However, timely diagnosis can be challenging due to inconsistent clinical presentations and a low index of suspicion. This case report highlights the need for increased awareness of this uncommon complication and provides insights into its pathophysiological mechanisms.
