Axillary artery injury secondary to displaced proximal humeral fractures: a report of two cases.
We report 2 cases of axillary artery injury secondary to low-energy proximal humeral fractures. In case 1, early diagnosis based on signs of acute ischaemia of the arm enabled early treatment and a favourable outcome. In case 2, there were no signs of ischaemia or neurological deficit, resulting in delayed diagnosis and increased severity of the injury. The patient developed a false aneurysm an...
متن کاملAxillary Artery Injury Associated with Proximal Humerus Fracture: A Report of 6 Cases
Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...
متن کاملVascular Injury Accompanying Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures: Two Cases and a Review of the Literature
We present two cases in which displaced proximal humeral fractures are accompanied by vascular injury. These Injuries are very rare but severe and the accompanying vascular impairment can have great clinical consequences. Therefore, we try to emphasize on the importance of thorough and accurate diagnostics, because it is obligatory for early diagnosis and improving the eventual outcome of these...
متن کاملAxillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fractures: a case report and literature review
Axillary artery injury associated with proximal humerus fractures was rare clinically, which exhibited varying clinical manifestations. In this study, an 80-year-old woman suffered from axillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fracture was presented. This case exhibited large ecchymosis in the left upper limb and chest skin. A left 4-part proximal humerus fracture dislocation inferi...
متن کاملManagement Of Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures
Treatment decision of displaced proximal humeral fractures is based on bone quality, fracture pattern, degree of displacement and patient profile. The AO/ASIF fracture classification helps in guiding treatment. Nonsurgical treatment consists of sling immobilisation. Surgical options include closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, open reduction and internal fixation with either conventional ...
