Abstract:
Arterial injuries of the forearm account for an important fraction of peripheral vascular injuries. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for both function and viability of the extremity. Arterial injuries of the forearm mostly occur as a result of glass or knife cuts and gunshot wounds and the presence of accompanying injuries may facilitate the diagnosis. However, in this case (50-year-old male patient), a piece of nail behaved like a high-energy particle and injured the radial artery without any accompanying lesion. Detection of normal pulses in the radial and ulnar arteries delayed the diagnosis and treatment. This case report aimed to address difficulties in establishing the diagnosis of isolated radial artery injuries.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
