We report a case of elbow fracture associated with brachial artery stenosis. Several authors reported that elbow fractures are associated with brachial artery injury. In the present case we detected brachial artery stenosis in a patient with a history of elbow fracture. Therefore we suggest that every patient with elbow trauma should undergo an assessment for brachial artery stenosis.

Abstract
We report a case of elbow fracture associated with brachial artery stenosis. Several authors reported that elbow fractures are associated with brachial artery injury. In the present case we detected brachial artery stenosis in a patient with a history of elbow fracture. Therefore we suggest that every patient with elbow trauma should undergo an assessment for brachial artery stenosis.File in questo prodotto:
