A comprehensive approach to extremity vascular trauma.

J O Menzoian, J E Doyle, N L Cantelmo

    Archives of Surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)

    Summary

    A review of 368 extremity injury patients led to an improved treatment plan for better limb survival. Early diagnosis of vascular injury through examination and arteriography is key to successful patient care.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Orthopedic Surgery

    Background:

    • Extremity injuries pose significant challenges in diagnosis and management.
    • Vascular injuries associated with extremity trauma require prompt identification and intervention.
    • Effective treatment strategies are crucial for limb salvage and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the experience with extremity injuries and develop an optimized treatment plan.
    • To identify key clinical findings indicative of vascular injury.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical repair for vascular injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 368 patients with 382 extremity injuries.
    • Analysis of clinical findings associated with vascular injury.

  • Review of arteriography results in proximity injuries.
  • Evaluation of surgical repair techniques and outcomes for 165 vascular injuries.

    • Main Results:

    • A treatment plan was developed based on patient data.
    • Specific clinical findings showed high correlation with vascular injury (e.g., bruit/thrill 100%, acute ischemia 100%, absent pulse 91%).
    • Arteriography revealed abnormalities in 16% of proximity injuries.
    • 165 vascular injuries (112 arterial, 53 venous) were repaired.
    • Operative intervention in 136 patients resulted in no operative mortality and a 1.5% amputation rate.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured treatment plan improves patient care and limb survival in extremity injuries.
    • Thorough clinical examination is vital for diagnosing vascular injuries.
    • Surgical repair of vascular injuries in extremity trauma is associated with low morbidity and amputation rates.
