    Axillary artery disruption after shoulder dislocation is rare but serious. Prompt surgical repair using a Dacron graft is crucial for limb salvage and function.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Orthopedic Trauma
    • Arterial Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Anterior shoulder dislocation can lead to axillary artery injury, a rare but severe complication.
    • This case represents the eleventh reported instance in 25 years, highlighting its infrequent occurrence.
    • Traditional repair methods may involve dividing the pectoralis major tendon, potentially impacting shoulder function.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with axillary artery disruption following an anterior shoulder dislocation.
    • A key clinical sign is the absence of a radial pulse post-dislocation, suggesting arterial damage.
    • Arteriography is recommended for diagnosis, if available, to visualize the extent of injury.

    Findings:

    • The study details a successful arterial repair using a two-incision approach (infraclavicular and transaxillary) without dividing the pectoralis major tendon.

  • An interposition Dacron graft was utilized for the arterial repair.
  • The repair addressed the arterial disruption, which could be an intimal flap or a ruptured vessel.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for managing axillary artery injuries.
    • The described surgical technique offers an alternative to pectoralis major tendon division.
    • Associated brachial plexus injuries often persist despite successful arterial repair, potentially leading to long-term motor deficits, particularly in hand extensors.
