AB Injury  to  the  peripheral  veins  in  the  extremities  occurs  via  a  wide  variety  of  mechanisms.  The  presence  of  peripheral  venous  injuries  is  an  often  overlooked  problem  in  extremity  trauma  given  the  more  profound  effects  of  similar  arterial  injury  as  noted  by  the  small  number  of  studies  regarding  prevalence,  operative  indications,  and  postoperative  management.  The  heterogeneity  of  these  injuries  and  the  sequela  of  their  management  also  contribute  to  the  paucity  of  literature  relative  to  arterial  injuries.  This  is  especially  true  of  upper  extremity  injuries,  which  have  been  historically  ligated  with  few  long-standing  implications  to  patient  morbidity.  Trauma  to  the  peripheral  venous  systems  can  negatively  impact  both  associated  arterial  repairs  and  long-term  morbidity  associated  with  extremity  injuries.
