Delayed Brachial Artery Occlusion after Humeral Shaft Open Fracture: A Case Report: Chul Hyun Cho, Ki Cheor Bae, Kyung Jae Lee, Si Wook Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2012;25(2):146-149. Published online April 30, 2012; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2012.25.2.146

Although vascular injury after humeral fracture is very rare, it is a complication that has serious sequelae. It has been associated with proximal humeral fracture or shoulder dislocation in adults and humeral supracondylar fracture in children. However, delayed brachial artery occlusion after humeral shaft fracture has never been reported worldwide. Nevertheless, delayed brachial artery occlusion after humerus shaft fracture has the potential to cause serious complications in the short term as well as long term; therefore, it is essential to provide accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. We report a case of delayed brachial artery occlusion after humeral shaft open fracture that was successfully treated with early diagnosis as well as effective treatment.

Late-onset Brachial Artery Occlusion caused by Subclavian Artery Stenosis after Clavicular Fracture: A Case Report: Chul Hyung Kang, Chul Hyun Cho, Sung Won Sohn, Ki Chul Bae, Hyung Tae Kim; J Korean Fract Soc 2006;19(4):494-496.

Abstract

Although vascular injury after clavicular fracture is a extremely rare, it is a complication which is serious problem. Vascular injury associated with the fracture can be immediate or delayed. We report a case of late-onset brachial artery occlusion caused by subclavian artery stenosis with excessive scar tissue after open reduction and plate fixation for clavicular fracture and include a review of the literature.
