title: [Popliteal vascular trauma: therapeutic management].
abstract: The functional severity of popliteal artery injury is intimately related to the direct consequences of tissue ischaemia increased by the associated traumatic attrition. The conservation of a functional limb requires: limitation of the duration and repercussions of ischaemia, by the use of a rigorous therapeutic protocol; "functional" surgical or even microsurgical reconstruction whose limits are still confused with the degree of traumatic myolysis and the potential of nervous recovery. Therefore, it seems obvious that the major difficulty lies in the definition of the limits for limb preservation.
