Improved results in the treatment of civilian vascular injuries associated with fractures and dislocations

Abstract: Patients with vascular injuries associated with fractures or dislocations of the extremities were managed according to a standard protocol, which included the liberal use of preoperative arteriography, early fasciotomy when indicated, individualization of timing and type of orthopedic procedures, arterial reconstruction primarily with interposition reversed saphenous vein grafts, repair of major venous injuries, routine completion arteriography, and regular postoperative monitoring of Doppler-derived ankle/bra… Show more

“…3). 2,9,69 There are some arterial injuries that may be management expectantly. Most surgeons will not attempt to directly repair or anastomose named vessels distal to the trifurcation of the lower extremity or distal to the bifurcation of the ulnar and radial arteries as long as adequate collateral circulation is present to maintain limb viability.…”

“…The limb salvage rate was 95 % and the primary patency rate of vein homografts was 75 % (excluded primary amputations). The penetrating cervicothoracic injuries were all repaired with imDie Zahl der Gefäûverletzungen hat weltweit in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich zugenommen [1,5]. Obwohl in einigen Län-dern der westlichen Zivilisation Gefäûverletzungen aufgrund von Straûen-und anderen Unfällen relativ selten sind [8,13], stellen in anderen Ländern Gefäûverletzungen aufgrund von militärischen Auseinandersetzungen, aber auch von ziviler Gewalt ein schwerwiegendes Problem dar [6,9].…”

“…In der vorliegenden Untersuchung konnte eine Extremitätenerhaltungsrate von 95 % erreicht werden, wobei wir allerdings primäre Amputationen aus der Untersuchung ausschlossen. Während in einigen Untersuchungen penetrierende Verletzungen die Hauptursache des Gefäûschadens darstellen, stehen in anderen Untersuchungen stumpfe Verletzungen im Vordergrund mit mehr als 50 % der Ursachen [5,8]. Im eigenen Krankengut überwogen bei weitem die penetrierenden Verletzungen.…”
