Conservative Approach is Safe for Perfused-Pulseless Hands Following Blunt Brachial Artery Injury in Children.

Blunt trauma of the brachial artery (BA) in pediatric age is often associated with neurological and orthopaedic injuries. Acute ischemic hands warrant immediate exploration, but the management of warm-pulseless hands following elbow trauma is controversial. This study evaluates the role of conservative treatment of blunt BA injuries in children with non-threatened hands.
