    Brachial artery rupture is a rare complication of elbow dislocation. Surgical repair using a reversed saphenous vein graft is the recommended treatment for this vascular injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Management

    Background:

    • Arterial injury is a recognized complication of humerus fractures.
    • Elbow dislocations typically present with different injury patterns.

    Observation:

    • A case of brachial artery rupture occurred secondary to a compound elbow dislocation.
    • This arterial complication is exceptionally uncommon in elbow dislocations.

    Findings:

    • The brachial artery was successfully repaired using a reversed saphenous vein graft.
    • This surgical technique is proposed as the optimal management strategy.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for severe vascular complications in seemingly less common injury mechanisms.

  • Emphasizes the importance of vascular assessment in all elbow dislocations.
  • Recommends saphenous vein grafting for brachial artery reconstruction in such cases.
