  • Title: Closed elbow dislocation and brachial artery damage.
    Author: Slowik GM, Fitzimmons M, Rayhack JM.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 1993; 7(6):558-61. PubMed ID: 8308610.
    Abstract:
    Damage to the brachial artery associated with closed elbow dislocation but without accompanying fracture is rare. Only 25 cases have been reported to date. We present a case that responded well to brachial artery vein grafting, and review the literature on this subject. Operative repair is recommended in this uncommon complication of closed dislocation of the elbow.
