Axillary artery injury secondary to proximal humerus fractures: a case report and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 inferior to the glenoid cavity was observed. After the repairation of axillary artery, hemiarthroplasty was successfully performed. The postoperative recovery of this patient was well, while no long term follow-up data was revealed. Our findings aimed to highlight the risk of axillary artery injury in patients with proximal humerus fractures-dislocations, and review the pathogenesis and treatment decisions.

Axillary 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...

Fracture of the proximal humerus associated with vascular injury has rarely been reported in children, and only two cases have been reported in the literature. In adults this combination has been reported more frequently. We present the case of a 14 year old boy with proximal humeral epiphyseal separation and axillary artery injury.

متن کاملAxillary artery compromise in a minimally displaced proximal humerus fracture: a case report
Minimally displaced fractures of the surgical neck of the humerus are rarely associated with axillary artery injury. The innocuous appearance of the x-rays can be misleading and a missed arterial injury in these fractures could potentially lead to disastrous consequences. We report the case of a patient who sustained a minimally displaced fracture of the proximal humerus with vascular compromis...
