    Abstract:
    Between April 1991 and December 1995, 118 patients were treated for wartime venous injuries. There were 108 (91.5%) venous injuries combined with arterial ones, and 52 (49%) with bone fractures. A total of 85 (72%) venous repairs were done and 33 (27.9%) were treated by ligation. Arteriovenous fistulas were found in 20 (16.9%) venous injuries. Venous injuries were associated with 10 (62.5%) amputations and 5 (45.4%) deaths. In the early postoperative period the authors found 15 (17.6%) thromboses of venous reconstructions.
