title: [The arterial complications of closed injuries to the shoulder girdle].
abstract: After a period of time of 5 years, we made a review of all the patients registered at our Center. Eight cases of closed traumatism at the scapulohumeral belt, with vascular injury associated (0.2% of all closed traumatisms at this level registered in our center during this time) were reported. Six patients presented also an osteoarticular injury associated. Three different vascular injuries were showed: three cases of complete arterial section, two arterial contusions and a partial arterial section. From the two cases without osteoarticular injuries, one of them showed a complete section and the other presented an arterial contusion. Polytraumatic patients showed multiple osteoarticular injuries. We registered one fracture-luxation at the shoulder, 3 diafisaric humeral fractures, one humeral neck fracture, one clavicle fracture, one fracture-luxation at the cervical column and one simple luxation of the shoulder.
