The aim of the present examination was to analyse extremity @entity130 with additional @entity1317 . Between 1973-2000 78 @entity1 with traumatic peripheral @entity1317 have been treated at the Surgical Department of the University Hospital of Mannheim. In addition to clinical examination Doppler-Duplex ultrasonography (cw-Doppler) was routinely performed. In selected cases either conventional or magnetic resonance angiography completed the diagnostic procedure. @entity1317 to the upper extremities were found in 46.2 % (n = 36) whereas 53.8 % (n = 42) of the @entity1 suffered from @entity130 of the lower extremities. The popliteal artery was affected in 28.2 % followed by the brachial artery with 23.1 %. 52.6 % of the @entity1 had interposition of autologous vein for reconstruction. Only 7.7 % of the cases needed interposition of alloplastic material. In general the injured extremity was immobilised by external fixation, followed by secondary vascular reconstruction. An efficient @entity130 management reduced amputation rate as low as 2.6 %.
