Abstract
A 22-year-old man presented with left-arm ischaemia, 22 months after placement of a clavicular compression plate for a fractured left clavicle. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a distal subclavian artery injury which, during surgery, was found to be caused by a screw in the compression plate. Ligation of the subclavian artery followed by carotid-axillary bypass resulted in a symptom-free left arm.Entities:
