  • Title: Gunshot wounds to the thigh. Evaluation of vascular and subclinical vascular injuries.
    Author: Payne WK, Gabriel RA, Massoud RP.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1995 Jan; 26(1):147-54. PubMed ID: 7838495.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective review of 173 patient charts, angiograms, surgical reports, and plain radiographs were performed for all patients admitted with gunshot wounds to the thigh from May 1988 to January 1991 at Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital. A zonal classification of gunshot wounds to the thigh was created and defined to determine if a zonal classification was predictive of a positive angiogram. Associations and relationships of patients with vascular injury are presented.
