TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Holster accidents: self-inflicted gunshot injuries of the knee and leg JO - Radiology A1 - Ben Menachem, Y. A1 - Duke, J. H. SP - 579 EP - 580 VL - 114 IS - 3 N2 - A man accidentally shot himself in the knee while holstering his own revolver. Although the pain was minimal, the wound "clean", and the joint flexible, angiography revealed a false aneurysm of the popliteal artery, a short segment of minimal tears below it, and a popliteal arteriovenus fistula slightly distal to the false aneurysm. Any penetrating wound of the popliteal fossa whose trajectory points to the vascular structures should be investigated angiographically.
