Massive trauma to a limb, even in young children, may lead to loss of viability and function. A combination of open fracture with vascular, crush, and avulsion injury resulting in acute peripheral ischemia may place the extremity at risk of necrosis and imminent amputation. We suggest a combined, multidisciplinary approach that includes initial vascular repair and fractures fixation, with early institution of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
