Abstract
|
|
|
|
Once ischemic necrosis occurs in the tissue below an injury site after trauma, a vascular injury is suspected first. On the other hand, it is not common for a blood vessel to become obstructed after a delay of a few days after the initial trauma. The authors experienced a case where the blood flow was maintained at the time of a femoral fracture injury and immediately after surgery, but the femoral artery was occluded later. On the 5th day after surgery, ischemic necrosis of the lower limb was confirmed and treated. This case is reported with a review of the relevant literature.
