Chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower limb may complicate fracture treatment. In five cases, diagnosis of vascular disease was established when delayed fracture healing or skin gangrene occurred some weeks after operative fracture treatment. The diagnosis of vascular disease was made from the case history, examination of the patient and repeated pulse control at the feet. Arterial insufficiency will be worsened by long-term elevation of the leg and by fracture treatment with a cast or traction. Angiography is indicated, and quick vascular reconstruction is recommended. In one patient with known iliac occlusion (Leriche syndrome) we performed simultaneous vascular reconstruction and operative fracture treatment.
