Abstract
Pseudoaneurysms are focal enlargements of the vascular lumen due to partial or complete disruption of the arterial wall These are an uncommon complication of fractures The presence of a pseudoaneurysm adjacent to a fracture fragment can cause a pressure effect This pressure not only impairs fracture healing but sometimes can erode the adjacent bone producing the appearance of a pseudotumor We present two such cases and discuss the management of these patients
