Circulatory disturbances following missile wounding of soft tissue.
The early circulatory changes following high velocity missile wounding to soft tissue of an extremity were analysed by hemodynamic methods and serial angiography. The extent of the tissue injury and the functional disturbances were mapped out and the time-course of the alterations in blood flow was registered. Possible mechanisms for the observed abnormalities are discussed.
