Abstract EN
Proximal humerus fractures are rarely associated with axillary artery injury.
We present a case of a 59-year-old female who had fracture neck humerus along with absent pulsations in the left upper limb after blunt trauma.
Computed tomographic angiogram revealed complete occlusion of the left axillary artery.
Urgent surgical intervention was done in the form of fixation of fracture followed by exploration and repair of axillary artery.
Axillary artery was contused and totally occluded by fractured edge of humerus.
Repair of the axillary artery was done using basilic vein graft harvested through the same incision.
Postprocedure pulsations were present in the upper limb.
