Patients with vascular injuries associated with fractures or dislocations of the extremities were managed according to a standard protocol, which included the liberal use of preoperative arteriography, early fasciotomy when indicated, individualization of timing and type of orthopedic procedures, arterial reconstruction primarily with interposition reversed saphenous vein grafts, repair of major venous injuries, routine completion arteriography, and regular postoperative monitoring of Doppler-derived ankle/brachial indices. Adherence to these principles led to a limb salvage rate of 97% in 38 patients with such injuries.
