Management of popliteal artery injuries. 1979

C Abernathy, and T C Dickinson, and H Lokey

In a series of seven popliteal artery injuries including two concomitant popliteal vein injuries and three knee dislocations, only one failure occurred. With appropriate training of emergency medical technicians and adequate supportive services such as blood banking and arteriography, the vascular surgeon in a small hospital setting can manage peripheral vascular trauma with acceptable results.
