An arteriovenous fistula formation caused by a blunt trauma is a quite rare complication,
especially in the hand. We report an extremely rare case of a traumatic arteriovenous
formation in a finger that developed 5 years after the patient received a blunt trauma
in conjunction with a phalangeal bone fracture. Successful management was achieved
by direct surgical resection of the arteriovenous fistula without any complication.
