  • Title: [Arterial vascular injuries in fractures or dislocations of the lower extremity. Therapeutic concept and results].
    Author: Buchholz J, Knopp W, Neumann K, Muhr G.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1993 Mar; 64(3):174-9. PubMed ID: 8482124.
    Abstract:
    Combinations of fractures or dislocations with vascular damage of the leg have a high incidence of amputation or severe functional deficit. With this type of lesion 22 patients were treated at "Bergmannsheil" from 1986 to 1991. Using a pre-, intra- and postoperative protocol, the amputation rate decreased to 18%. More than 80% of the patients had a good function of their leg with only minor joint restrictions.
