Arterial and ulnar injury, Neurorrhaphy, Vascular anastomosisAbstract
Traumatic injuries to upper extremities cause vascular and nerve injuries, which is why they constitute a cause for attention in the emergency service of medical units. These injuries can cause sequelae that can affect people's quality of life and their daily activities if they are not managed appropriately, so it is necessary to have knowledge of the anatomy to provide individualized therapeutic management. Therefore, we present the case of a female patient who suffers a traumatic injury to the forearm, which causes ulnar arterial and nerve injury. Exposing the management provided in our institution and its results.
