Iatrogenic Injury to Profunda Femoris During a Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation for Intertrochanteric Fracture

We present a case of a profunda femoris artery injury during a dynamic hip screw fixation for an intertrochanteric fracture. This was identified clinically on the ward and confirmed with a CT angiogram. The bleeder was then treated by coil embolization, and laboratory results showed significant impr...

description We present a case of a profunda femoris artery injury during a dynamic hip screw fixation for an intertrochanteric fracture. This was identified clinically on the ward and confirmed with a CT angiogram. The bleeder was then treated by coil embolization, and laboratory results showed significant improvement in hemoglobin level after blood transfusion.
