Abstract
Brachial artery thrombosis following prompt reduction of a supracondylar fracture of the humerus in a 7-year old is described. Persisting absence of the distal pulses in a viable extremity may herald the insidious development of Volkmann's ischemia. Pulse volume recordings provide a safe, objective means of evaluation. Arteriography by direct open technique avoids the hazards of percutaneous puncture in children.Entities:
