Abstract
Femoral Artery Rupture is a rather serious and life-threatening complication of surgeries involving the anterior compartment of the thigh and knee. Here we present a case of a 15-year-old patient, a post-operative case of Bilateral osteotomy for Genu Varus, presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) in Haemorrhagic Shock after merely sneezing and spontaneously rupturing his femoral artery.
