- Abstract
Three cases of trapezial fractures in which the radial artery was injured are reported. The injuries occurred during the initial trauma in one, when internal fixation was done in the second, and during hardware removal in the third. Six cadaveric wrists were dissected to study the relationship between the course of the artery and the trapezium.
