title: Subclavian thrombosis following hockey injuries.
abstract: Subclavian thrombosis is not an uncommon disease following an injury. It has been reported following severe trauma to mere hyperabduction of the arm. Heretofore it has not been reported following a hockey injury. I wish to report two cases where subclavian thrombosis occurred following a hockey injury. The records of the National Hockey League for a 3-year period along with the world literature have been reviewed. The mechanisms producing the thrombosis and pathogenesis are described along with the modes of diagnosis and treatment.
