Injuries to the common femoral artery (CFA) are usually associated with local fractures. Other mechanisms of injury include intimal disruption, intramural hematomas, and subintimal fibrosis. Occlusions CFA may also result from blood clots or arterial emboli via blunt injury. Blunt trauma causing is exceedingly rare. be caused by “motor-scooter-handlebar syndrome.” We present a unique case where...

Chest trauma is classified as blunt or penetrating, with being the cause of most thoracic injuries (90%). The main difference in penetrating opening cavity, created either by stabbing gunshot wounds, which absent chest trauma. Following head and extremities injuries, Blunt are third common injury polytrauma patients. Assessment patients clinical radiographic finding suggestive pneumothorax, rib...

of great vessel trauma, and any thoracic vascular structure is at risk. Patients who survive to arrive at the emergency department, particularly if they are not in hemorrhagic shock, have a survival rate that approaches 50%. In contrast, blunt traumatic injuries to the great vessels most often affect the aorta, although the innominate artery, pulmonary hilar vessels, and vena cava are also susc...

BACKGROUND Blunt thoracic trauma is one of the critical injury mechanisms in multiply injured trauma victims. Although these patients present a plethora of potential structural damages to vital organs, it remains debated which injuries actually influence outcome and thereby should be addressed initially. Hence, the aim of this study was to identify the influence of critical structural damages o...

Background Sternal fracture is uncommon injury following blunt chest trauma. They are usually caused by direct blunt trauma to the sternum, or most frequently car accident, including steering wheel direct blunt trauma to the sternum. Sternal fracture should be regarded as a hallmark of severe multiple injuries until proven otherwise. The purpose of this study was to describe general features co...

Gallbladder rupture following blunt abdominal trauma is a rare event recognized on evaluation and treatment of other visceral injuries during laparotomy. Isolated gallbladder rupture secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is even more uncommon. The clinical presentation of gallbladder injury is variable, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and treatment. We report the case of a patient who suffered ...

Heart valve injuries due to non-penetrating blunt thoracic trauma are rare. Isolated tricuspid incompetence due to detachment of a leaflet from the annulus after blunt trauma is uncommon. Young patients may tolerate chronic tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and can be undiagnosed for years until the right ventricular failure occurs. We report the case of a young adult male who sustained blunt chest...

Neurotrauma represents a significant public health problem, accounting for a significant proportion of the morbidity and mortality associated with all traumatic injuries. Both blunt and penetrating injuries to cervicocerebral vessels are significant and are likely more common than previously recognized. Imaging of such injuries is an important component in the evaluation of individuals presenti...

Abdominal injuries are rare in sports, but even minor traumas may result potentially life-threatening injuries. The most frequent abdominal injury is wall contusion, following by blunt of the kidneys and spleen. cases soccer rarely reported literature. We present a case grade IV splenic laceration 10-year-old goalkeeper caused trauma sustained during gameplay. was successfully treated with nono...

PURPOSE We aimed to present the frequency of computed tomography (CT) signs of diaphragmatic rupture and the differences between blunt and penetrating trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CT scans of 23 patients with surgically proven diaphragmatic tears (both blunt and penetrating) were retrospectively reviewed for previously described CT signs of diaphragmatic injuries. The overall frequency o...
