In this study, 125 patients with blunt popliteal artery injury during the 15 years period (1984-1999) had been classified into 2 groups, group A (50 patients) during the 7 years period (1984-1991) and group B (75 patients) during the 8 years period (1992-1999). The amputation rate in the 2 groups had been compared against different variables as type of trauma, associated injuries, clinical presentations, type and site of popliteal artery injury, ischaemic time, pre-operative systemic anticoagulation, the use of intravascular shunts, use of fasciotomy and the timing of reconstructive procedures, in order to find out the causes of improved results.
