Abstract:
Blunt trauma to the axillary artery is an unusual injury. Patients with these injuries may not present with "classic" signs of arterial insufficiency; therefore a high index of suspicion is necessary to avoid delay in treatment. This article presents three patients with unusual injuries to the axillary artery and discusses their management.
