The authors evaluated the results achieved in 47 patients with injuries of the acral vesels where they performed a total of 50 vascular operations during the five-year period from 1998-2001. 21.3% injuries were part of multiple injuries. The mean period of hospitalization was 14.7 days. The 30-day mortality was 6.4% and the morbidity 12.8%. The upper extremity was saved in all instances (100%), the lower extremity in 77.3% of the injured. The reason for high amputations of the lower extremity were most frequently injuries of the popliteal artery associated with skeletal injury and extensive contusion of the soft tissues of the extremity. The authors discuss the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in injuries of the acral vessels. They emphasize a multidisciplinary approach without delay with early, frequently during the primary operation indicated fasciotomy, to prevent the development of compartment syndrome. The order of operations in concurrent injuries of the acral skeleton depends on the stage of ischaemia, type of injury and solution of the skeletal fractures. This type of injury frequently calls for repeated redressing in the operation theatre with repeated necrectomies of soft tissues to prevent infection which may prove fatal for the extremity. Injuries of the acral vessels should be nowadays treated in specialized departments with a 24-hour diagnostic and therapeutic traumatological service which comprises a highly specialized team of vascular surgeons.
