Abstract

This case report discusses femoral artery compression resulting from iliopsoas bursitis in a patient following total hip arthroplasty. The patient, a 65-year-old male, presented with groin pain and diminished lower extremity circulation several weeks post-surgery. Clinical evaluation and imaging studies, including Doppler ultrasound, revealed significant compression of the femoral artery by an inflamed iliopsoas bursa. The diagnosis of iliopsoas bursitis was confirmed, and management included corticosteroid injections and physical therapy, resulting in substantial symptom relief and improved blood flow. This case highlights the importance of recognizing atypical complications following hip arthroplasty and underscores the need for vigilant monitoring of vascular integrity in postoperative patients.
