Brachial artery tethering in a supracondylar fracture
Brachial artery tethering in a supracondylar fracture
The branchial artery may be tethered to the sharp edge of the proximal supracondylar fracture fragment by the supratrochlear branch of the anterior ulnar recurrent artery, thereby increasing the risk of brachial artery injury during movement of the injured arm or fracture manipulation
