Abstract
- The authors report a case of superficial femoral arterial trauma caused by external fixator in 53 year-old male patient who had supracondylar fracture of femur due to automobile accident. After removal of external fixator, autogenous bypass graft was perfomed with reversed great saphenous vein. The occlusion of the graft occurred 3 months later, we thought that interposition graft in the chronic inflammatory and fibrotic tissue should be avoided.
