Improving lower limb salvage following fractures with vascular injury: a systematic review and new management algorithm.
- Abstract:
-
BACKGROUND: Lower limb fractures with vascular injuries are associated with a high rate of secondary amputation. Reducing ischaemic time is vital for limb salvage. However, the optimal sequence of surgical management remains unclear. We aimed to review the literature to establish an evidence-based management algorithm.
