Extremity vascular trauma poses several difficult dilemmas in diagnosis and
treatment. The still evolving trend in management of these injuries is toward
more rapid, less costly, and less invasive diagnostic modalities, an improved
understanding of the therapeutic implications of the clinical presentation,
prompt repair of significant vascular injuries, and a liberal use of adjunctive
techniques such as fasciotomy. Many issues remain to be resolved by further
experience and investigation, in order to achieve optimal limb salvage in this
setting.
