Axillary artery disruption secondary to anterior dislocation of the shoulder

We report a 13-year-old male who sustained a segmental injury to the third part of the left axillary artery following a subcoracoid shoulder dislocation while wrestling. The artery was repaired with an autogenous saphenous vein interposition graft. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and, in a 3-year followup, he has complete range of motion of the left shoulder without neurovascular compromise.
