Abstract
Data on venous injury in blunt extremity trauma are scarce. The nature of injury and results of therapy in 22 patients presenting with blunt venous extremity injury at MIEMSS and KUMC in a 10-year period are presented. Comparisons of the outcome with venous ligation and repair, the use of anticoagulants, and the use of fasciotomy, led to the development of guidelines for the therapy of blunt venous injury in both upper and lower extremity trauma.
