Popis:	Although isolated posterior closed elbow dislocation occurs frequently, associated disrupted brachialis arteria is an uncommon complication which is rarely encountered. The rarity of this complication makes adequate management of this injury controversial, but arterial reconstruction remains the treatment of choice and is recommended despite reports of success following simple arterial ligation. Complications such as intermittent claudication or gangrene of the hand are possible if brachial artery flow is not restored.
