Axillary arterial thrombosis secondary to anterior shoulder dislocation

Dragos Popescu et al. Acta Orthop Belg. 2006 Oct.

Abstract

We report the case of a 59-year-old male patient who returned to the Hospital with severe pain in the right upper arm, 9 hours after reduction of an anterior dislocation of the right shoulder. A thrombosis of the axillary artery was quickly diagnosed and the rapid treatment allowed revascularisation in the arm without any major consequences.
