Immediate Revascularization of A Traumatic Limb Vascular Injury associated with Major Pelvic Injuries
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
High velocity pelvic injury with limb vascular injury poses difficulties as immediate surgery for limb reperfusion is indicated. However immediate vascular intervention deviates from conventional principles of damage control following major injuries. We present two cases of this rare combination of injuries. In both cases, early limb revascularization is possible despite presented with multiple injuries and pelvic fracture.
