Figure 8. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans demonstrating a hematoma
secondary to a lateral inferior genicular artery injury from graft
harvesting. (A) Sagittal T2-weighted proton-density fast-spin (B) axial
and (C) coronal sequences demonstrate a hematoma (arrows) extending from
lateral to the vastus lateralis down to the level of the insertion of
the iliotibial band, insinuating into the surgical defect at the graft
donor site (arrowheads). Proton-density (D) axial and (E) coronal
sequences demonstrate the normal anatomy of the lateral inferior
genicular artery (pentagon arrows). (F and G) Illustrations
demonstrating the blood supply of the knee are provided for reference.
