Immediate Revascularization of A Traumatic Limb Vascular Injury associated with Major Pelvic Injuries.

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.

The outcomes of salvage surgery for vascular injury in the extremities: a special consideration for delayed revascularization.

A seven years retrospective study was performed in 45 consecutive vascular injuries in the extremities to investigate the pattern of injuries, managements and outcomes. Motor-vehicle accidents were the leading cause of injuries (80%), followed by industrial injuries (11.1%) and iatrogenic injuries (4.
