Late vascular complication after blunt trauma.
The left clavicle of a 52-year-old patient was fractured at a road traffic accident in 1991. Three months after uneventful recovery axillary vein thrombosis developed on the side of the trauma, which was treated conservatively. One year after the trauma embolization of the left hand developed. The cause was an intimal tear with application thrombus, which were successfully excised. The case proves the importance of awareness of late vascular complications after blunt traumas.
