Forearm artery injury symptoms?

summary

Forearm artery injury is mostly caused by sharp instrument injury, and car crash injury is also a common cause. It is more common in young adults aged 20-40. The main forearm arteries are radial artery, ulnar artery, common interosseous artery, superficial palmar arch and deep palmar arch. Forearm artery injury symptoms? Let's talk about it

Forearm artery injury symptoms?

The main symptoms were partial obstruction of blood supply of hand, weakening and disappearance of ulnar or radial artery pulse, cold sensation of fingers, skin allergy and numbness. If the injury affects the superficial palmar artery arch, Raynaud's syndrome may appear in the fingers,

There may also be hypothenar atrophy. Open upper extremity artery injury can lead to massive hemorrhage, and then lead to ischemic shock. According to the trauma and clinical manifestations, it is not difficult to make a diagnosis. Because of its good collateral circulation compensation function, except for 10% - 15% patients with poor palmar artery arch anastomosis, most of the treatment results are good.

Pay attention to septal syndrome. The soft tissue of forearm is often involved at the same time due to compression, which makes the muscular septum syndrome easy to appear and aggravates the injury. Once this happens, the muscular septum should be fully cut and decompressed as soon as possible, otherwise the hand function will be lost.

matters needing attention

In daily life, pay attention to the protection of forearm from injury, so as to prevent scratches and scratches in play and fight. After treatment, the prognosis of patients with patency of brachial artery is better. If the brachial artery is blocked or ligated, or the distal muscle of the limb has ischemic changes, Volkmann ischemic contracture may be caused, resulting in permanent disability of the affected limb. When the injury is found, it should be treated in time, and generally no serious complications will occur.
