Abstract
Two cases of injuries of the popliteal arteries followed by fractures at proximal part of the tibia were reported.
Clinical phases of the legs were ischemic, and the arteriographic findings revealed complete blockage of the popliteal arteries at the level of fractures.
For one case, the injured artery was reconstructed with venous autograft 13 hours after injury, while the other case was operated on by fasciecotomy of anterior tibial component 3 days after injury. The different two procedures were resulted in success and the legs are full functional conditions.
