Fractures of the clavicle and injuries of the sub-clavian artery. Report of 10 cases.

During four years, the authors have observed ten lesions of the sub-clavian artery associated with a fracture of the clavicle. The clinical picture in one case out of two was that of an acute ischemia of the upper limb. The surgical repair has been performed in 8 cases. The thoracic approach was necessary three times. The clavicle was resected in most cases. The prognosis of these lesions depends on the rapidity of their recognition, and of their treatment, and on the fact whether the brachial plexus is involved or not

[Chances of avoiding amputation in an arteritis patient with gangrene].

During the period 1970-1974, restorative surgery was carried out 324 times in patients with gangrene or severe ischaemia caused by arteritis of the lower limbs. In 67 percent of the cases major excision surgery, such as amputation at the thigh or of the whole leg, was avoided and the support was retained. In 61 cases (19 percent) amputation was necessary either immediately or within a few weeks or months. Death occurred in 47 patients (14 percent) either in the operative period or in the 3 following years.
