Key Clinical Message Popliteal artery occlusion after total knee arthroplasty is rare (0.03–0.17%) but can lead to amputation if overlooked. We should carefully assess vascular patency by Doppler ultrasound and ankle brachial pressure index ( ABPI ) measurement before and after total knee arthroplasty ( TKA ) operation.
