Pseudoaneurysm-Induced Pain Following Ankle Arthroscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2025. 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 Arthroscopic surgery is esteemed for its arthroscopic lateral ligament repair to treating ankle ligament injuries, characterized by a low complication rate. Nevertheless, rare complications such as pseudoaneurysms require careful monitoring and a strategic approach to management during the postoperative follow-up period. This case report details a 42-year-old man with chronic instability in his left ankle. The aim of this paper is to present a case report and conduct a literature review on the rare complication of pseudoaneurysm following arthroscopic procedures. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old man with chronic instability in his left ankle was experiencing severe pain and limited motion following arthroscopic lateral ligament repair surgery. He was diagnosed with a pseudoaneurysm of the left anterior tibial artery and an intra-articular hematoma in the left ankle joint, indicated by MRI and Doppler ultrasound findings. Initial conservative management was followed by interventional procedures, including thrombin injection and balloon tamponade. After these interventions proved unsuccessful, surgical intervention for anterior tibial artery reconstruction and hematoma evacuation was performed. The surgical interventions resulted in the closure of the pseudoaneurysm and improvement in the patient's pain. CONCLUSIONS This case underscores the challenges involved in diagnosing and managing pseudoaneurysm and hematoma after ankle surgery, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation and a comprehensive treatment strategy.
