Arterial combat injuries of the upper extremity. 1980

R Adar, and A Schramek, and J Khodadadi, and A Zweig, and L Golcman, and H Romanoff

The results of treatment of 101 combat injuries of the upper extremities are reported. There were 84 acute injuries and 17 late complications. There was a high incidence of associated fractures (35%) and nerve lesions (51%). Over half the injuries were repaired by saphenous vein graft replacement. There were seven early amputations related to a long delay before treatment, extensive tissue damage, and sepsis with delayed hemorrhage. There were no late amputations, but residual neurologic damage gave a less than perfect result in 32 extremities. Two injuries resulted in Volkmann's contracture. Fracture specific to the management of upper-extremity arterial injuries are outlined.
