He had undergone a femoral nailing and a cerclage wiring. Four hours postoperative, his left leg was colder, and his dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulse were absent. A CTA revealed his left superficial femoral artery entrapment by cerclage wire. After cerclage removal, the superficial femoral artery and vein had normal flow. The dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulse could be palpated. One day following, there was no compromising of blood flow, sensation, or motor-nerve function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cerclage wiring in the proximal half of the femur was less risk to the femoral artery than in the distal part. The SFA entrapment into a femoral cerclage wire requires an urgent diagnosis and treatment. A missed diagnosis could lead to necrosis of the lower extremity and even death.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our case shows that the superficial femoral artery can be incarcerated in the cerclage wiring during osteosynthesis. Cerclage wiring in the proximal half of the femur was less risk to the femoral artery than in the distal part.
