We present a patient with an arteriovenous fistula of the peroneal artery acquired after a left dome tibial osteotomy with midshaft fibular osteotomy. He had subsequently had a total knee replacement on that side. The arteriovenous malformation was only diagnosed when he represented with symptoms and signs of venous hypertension with sterile recurrent haemarthroses in the left knee. Percutaneous obliteration of the fistula, by a combination of coil embolisation and balloon occlusion, cured the symptoms.
