[Trauma to the forearm with damage to the major arteries]

The authors made an analysis of surgical methods of treatment of 63 patients and long-term results in the period from 1 to 6 years in 23 of them. The restoration of all the injured anatomical structures of the forearm and, in particular, the restoration (suture, autovenous plasty) of the major arteries and primary suture of the injured nerves are thought to be necessary for good results.
