| Abstract: | Complications following supracondylar fracture of humerus are well-known. Pre- and post-operativecomplications have been documented in the literature. Neurovascular injury due to fracture fragmentsfollowing this type of fracture is described. Iatrogenic brachial artery during surgical treatment of this fracture is unknown to the literature. So we report a rare case of iatrogenic brachial artery injury during pinning of supracondylar fracture of humerus and try to create awareness to the surgeons that such injuries can occur with improper operative techniques. |
