Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliac and femoral venous injuries represent a challenging dilemma in trauma surgery with mixed results. Venous restoration of outflow (via repair or bypass) has been previously identified as having higher rates of VTE (venous thromboembolism) compared to ligation. We hypothesized that rates of VTE and eventual amputation were similar whether restoration of venous outflow vs ligation was performed at initial operation. METHODS Patients in the 2019-2021 National Trauma Data Bank with iliac and femoral vein injuries were abstracted and analyzed. The primary outcomes of interest were in-hospital lower extremity amputation and VTE. RESULTS A total of 2642 patients with operatively managed iliac and femoral vein injuries were identified VTE was found in 10.8% of patients. Multivariable logistic regression was performed and identified bowel injury, higher ISS, older age, open repair, and longer time to VTE prophylaxis initiation as independent predictors of VTE. Amputation was required in 4.2% of patients. Multivariable logistic regression identified arterial or nerve injury, femur or tibia fracture, venous ligation, percutaneous intervention, fasciotomy, bowel injury, and higher ISS as independent factors of amputation. CONCLUSION Venous restoration was not an independent predictor of VTE. Venous ligation on index operation was the only modifiable independent predictor of amputation identified on regression analysis.

Abstract
Although vascular injuries complicate only 1-2% of patients with orthopedic trauma, they may be encountered in a much higher rate of around 10 % in injuries around the knee and elbow joints following both fractures and dislocations. In case of vascular involvement, specific diagnostic and therapeutic challenges arise and there is a higher risk for significant morbidity (i.e. limb loss) or mortality. In the absence of randomized data, diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms are not always straightforward and clinical practice may be based on experience and local protocols rather than firm evidence. With this article we intend to review available literature regarding concomitant skeletal and vascular trauma in order to provide concise information and clear guidelines of when to operate with least investigations and when to go for a full spectrum of investigations in the absence of hard clinical signs. Additionally, other aspects concerning the manipulation of these patients are discussed, such as the indications of primary amputation, the potential role of endovascular techniques and the value of the Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta. In summary, this scoping review summarizes current practices in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients with concomitant orthopedic and vascular injuries, discusses different treatment strategies and gives a practical perspective for implementation on every day practice.

Abstract
While amputation techniques have improved over time, questions remain around how to best treat neuromas and severed nerves in the amputee population, specifically for trauma-related amputees. This systematic review investigates and summarizes outcomes following targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) for the trauma-related amputee population. Studies were classified based on primary or secondary TMR and relevant outcomes, including the ability to use a prosthesis, post-TMR opioid use, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores for phantom limb pain and residual limb pain, and overall pain resolution/reduction. Following TMR for trauma-related amputation, most patients experienced neuroma pain resolution (86.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 67.2-95.0%) and overall pain reduction/resolution (90.7%, 95% CI: 82.2-95.4%). No differences were seen between primary and secondary TMR. Preliminary evidence indicates that TMR is effective for preventing or treating pain in patients with trauma-related amputation, whether used in the acute or delayed setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The implications of major venous injury to the lower extremity are not well established. We aimed to determine the significance of concomitant and isolated femoropopliteal venous injury and assess the impact of surgical management strategies on limb outcomes. METHODS The Fasciotomy and Vascular Injury Outcomes Database was queried for limbs sustaining femoropopliteal arterial, venous, or concomitant injuries in Iraq or Afghanistan between 2004-2012. Demographics, injury patterns and severity, interventions, and outcomes were compared between patients sustaining isolated arterial injuries (IAI) and concomitant arteriovenous injuries (AVI). In limbs with any venous injury, outcomes were compared between those undergoing venous (VR) and ligation (VL). RESULTS 330 patients (133 IAI, 135 AVI, 62 isolated venous injuries (IVI)) were included. AVI was associated with greater limb injury severity: median extremity Abbreviated Injury Scale (AVI 4 vs. IAI 3, p=0.01), Mangled Extremity Severity Score >7 (25.9% vs. 13.5%, p= 0.01), multi-level vascular injury (6.7% vs. 0.8%, p=0.01) and with greater fasciotomy use (83.0% vs. 69.2%, p=0.01). No differences were present in tourniquet use/time, shunting, or nature of arterial repair. No differences in vascular or limb complications (71.1% vs. 63.9%, p=0.21) or amputation rate (25.9% vs. 18.8%, p=0.16) were present, though limb DVT rate was 12.6% in AVI vs. 7.5% in IAI (p=0.17). Limbs with IVI had a 12.9% amputation and a 74.2% complication rate. Repair (n=103) versus ligation (n=94) of venous injuries was not associated with a difference in amputation (18.4% vs. 25.5%, p=0.23) or limb complication rates (71.8% vs. 72.3%, p=0.94). CONCLUSION Despite higher extremity injury severity and more frequent fasciotomies, concomitant venous injury was not associated with poorer limb salvage or complications. With nontrivial amputation and complication rates, IVI is indicative of severe limb trauma. Repair of femoropopliteal venous injuries does not appear to influence limb outcomes.

Abstract
In patients with abdominal trauma who require laparotomy, up to a quarter or a third will have a vascular injury. The venous structures mainly injured are the vena cava (29%) and the iliac veins (20%), and arterial vessels are the iliac arteries (16%) and the aorta (14%). The initial approach is performed following the ATLS principles. This manuscript aims to present the surgical approach to abdominal vascular trauma following damage control principles. The priority in a trauma laparotomy is bleeding control. Hemorrhages of intraperitoneal origin are controlled by applying pressure, clamping, packing, and retroperitoneal with selective pressure. After the temporary bleeding control is achieved, the compromised vascular structure must be identified, according to the location of the hematomas. The management of all lesions should be oriented towards the expeditious conclusion of the laparotomy, focusing efforts on the bleeding control and contamination, with a postponement of the definitive management. Their management of vascular injuries includes ligation, transient bypass, and packing of selected low-pressure vessels and bleeding surfaces. Subsequently, the unconventional closure of the abdominal cavity should be performed, preferably with negative pressure systems, to reoperate once the hemodynamic alterations and coagulopathy have been corrected to carry out the definitive management.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This is a literature review on the history of venous trauma since the 1800s, especially that to the common femoral, femoral and popliteal veins, with focus on the early 1900s, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and then civilian and military reviews (1960-2020). In the latter two groups, tables were used to summarize the following: incidence of venous repair versus ligation, management of popliteal venous injuries, patency of venous repairs when assessed <30 days from operation, patency of venous repairs when assessed >30 days from operation, clinical assessment (edema or not) after ligation versus repair, incidence of deep venous thrombosis after ligation versus repair, and incidence of pulmonary embolism after ligation versus repair.There is a lack of the following in the literature on the management of venous injuries over the past 80 years: standard definition of magnitude of venous injury in operative reports, accepted indications for venous repair, standard postoperative management, and timing and mode of early and later postoperative assessment.Multiple factors have entered into the decision on venous ligation versus repair after trauma for the past 60 years, but a surgeon's training and local management protocols have the most influence in both civilian and military centers. Ligation of venous injuries, particularly those in the lower extremities, is well tolerated in civilian trauma, although there is the usual lack of short- and long-term follow-up as noted in many of the articles reviewed.

Abstract
Microsurgical free flap transfer plays a key role in soft tissue reconstruction of the lower extremities. Through close cooperation between plastic and orthopedic surgery, great progress and success in limb salvage could be achieved over the last decades. The risk for extremity malperfusion is especially high in older patients and after trauma. To maximize the success rate for free flap transfer there is need for interdisciplinary clinical examination and diagnostics. In addition to clinical methods radiological procedures are necessary to evaluate and optimize lower extremity perfusion before surgery.Vascular ultrasound provides important information about the arterial and venous status; however, DSA, CTA and MRA are well-established and exact methods to evaluate arterial inflow. The use of less invasive methods makes it much more feasible, economic and comfortable to perform preoperative selection of patients requiring interventional procedures.In the case of intraluminal stenosis without any option for PTA, a vascular surgeon can be involved at an early stage to evaluate further surgical options. In some cases, similar surgical revascularization and free flap transfer can be performed in a single surgery. The aim of this study is to implement a standardized algorithm for preoperative examination and radiological diagnostics before reconstructive surgery of the lower extremity.

Abstract
The peripheral arteries and veins of the extremities are among the most commonly injured vessels in both civilian and military vascular trauma. Blunt causes are more frequent than penetrating except during military conflicts and in certain geographic areas. Physical examination and simple bedside investigations of pulse pressures are key in early identification of these injuries. In stable patients with equivocal physical examinations, computed tomography angiograms have become the mainstay of screening and diagnosis. Immediate open surgical repair remains the first-line therapy in most patients. However, advances in endovascular therapies and more widespread availability of this technology have resulted in an increase in the range of injuries and frequency of utilization of minimally invasive treatments for vascular injuries in stable patients. Prevention of and early detection and treatment of compartment syndrome remain essential in the recovery of patients with significant peripheral vascular injuries. The decision to perform amputation in patients with mangled extremities remains difficult with few clear indicators. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma in conjunction with the World Society of Emergency Surgery seeks to summarize the literature to date and provide guidelines on the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of peripheral vascular injuries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Review study, level IV.
