An institutional experience with 100 consecutive blunt popliteal artery injuries over a 20-year period was reviewed. The overall amputation rate was 15%; however, during the past 7 years this has declined from 23% to 6%. Minimizing delay in the revascularization of ischemic limbs, routine systemic heparinization, primary arterial repair when possible, repair of popliteal venous injuries, aggressive wound debridement, and early soft tissue coverage have contributed to improved limb salvage during the 1980s.
