Eva. Lim et al., VASCULAR IMPINGEMENT BY EXTERNAL FIXATOR PINS - A CASE-REPORT, The journal of trauma, injury, infection, and critical care, 38(5), 1995, pp. 833-835
Associated vascular injuries after external fixation of the tibia are
rarely encountered. We report a case of impingement of the anterior ti
bial artery after application of an external fixator. The extrinsic co
mpression disappeared after pin removal. Proper technique of pin place
ment is re-emphasized.
