摘要
Although vascular injuries complicate only 1-2% of patients with orthopedic trauma, they may be encountered in a much higher rate of around 10% in injuries around the knee and elbow joints following both fractures and dislocations. In case of vascular involvement, specific diagnostic and therapeutic challenges arise and there is a higher risk for significant morbidity (i.e. limb loss) or mortality. In the absence of randomized data, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms are not always straightforward and clinical practice may be based on experience and local protocols rather than firm evidence. With this article we intend to review available literature regarding concomitant skeletal and vascular trauma in order to provide concise information and clear guidelines of when to operate with least investigations and when to go for a full spectrum of investigations in the absence of hard clinical signs. Additionally, other aspects concerning the manipulation of these patients are discussed, such as the indications of primary amputation, the potential role of endovascular techniques and the value of the Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta. In summary, this scoping review summarizes current practices in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with concomitant orthopedic and vascular injuries, discusses different treatment strategies and gives a practical perspective for implementation on every day practice.
