A 9‐year‐old child with a left humerus fracture also had minor skin cuts on the right knee, which were closed with a skin stapler. After 1 week, a medial superior genicular artery pseudoaneurysm developed, which was treated by ultrasound‐guided compression. This case illustrates a unique complication of the use of a skin stapler device.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 41:316–318, 2013
