Abstract
In this article 417 patients are examined retrospectively. They are reviewed according to their ages, sex, types of injuries, clinical findings, surgical approaches and complications. Most of them were young males (78%) between 11–30 years of age (65%) and 74% were injured by sharp weapons and gunshots. Femoral artery injuries were seen in 29% of all patients. Amputation was performed in 6.4% of cases, but in the popliteal artery group the amputation ratio was 14%. Thirteen patients died from hypovolemic shock or acute renal failure (3.12%).
