The biochemistry of Dupuytren's disease.

abstract：:Trauma to the upper extremity can present with an associated arterial injury. After patient stabilization, thorough assessment with physical examination and various imaging modalities allows accurate diagnosis of the specific arterial injury. After diagnosis, efficient treatment is necessary to allow limb salvage. Tre...
