Abstract: 68-year-old male patient is admitted to hospital due to hip pain. He had undergone a surgery for left pertrochanteric fracture 18 days ago in another hospital. A locked plate was used for osteosynthesis which have failed immediately after mobilization. Single stage revision was performed due to implant failure and acute implant related infection. Hematoma formation and persistent wound drainage developed. Angiography identified an injury of deep femoral artery. Angiographic embolization was performed. If patient experiences recurrent swelling, hematoma and persistent wound drainage, vascular injury should be considered. Angiography should be carried out for early diagnosis. Angiographic embolization provides effective treatment.
