Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis. Evidence-based Comprehensive Approach to Forearm Arterial Laceration - The Western Journal of Emergency Medicine. IntroductionDiscussionMethods of hemorrhage controlOther considerationsConclusion Introduction Penetrating injury to the forearm may cause an isolated radial or ulnar artery injury, or a complex injury involving other structures including veins, tendons and nerves.
The management of forearm laceration with arterial injury involves both operative and nonoperative strategies. An evolution in management has emerged especially at urban trauma centers, where the multidisciplinary resource of trauma and hand subspecialties may invoke controversy pertaining to the optimal management of such injuries. The objective of this review was to provide an evidence-based, systematic, operative and nonoperative approach to the management of isolated and complex forearm lacerations.
