Vascular injuries in orthopaedic surgery.
(1) Vascular injuries in orthopaedic surgery are of great importance for the postoperative function of the extremity. (2) Hip replacement operation and orthopaedic operations on the knee seem to be predestined to such complications because of the close proximity of bone and vessels. (3) Early diagnosis and operative correction as soon as possible may prevent severe damage of the extremity.
