Abstract

Simple ligation of major venous injury can be both limb threatening and create chronic disability (9). A case of penetrating trauma to the thigh producing isolated major venous injury is presented. An aggressive approach, immediate exploration, and lateral suture and non-reversed saphenous vein graft, are advocated for the diagnosis and treatment of venous trauma.
