摘要
Blunt trauma from bicycle handlebars is associated with well-described injuries of the abdominal viscera. These injuries result from the forceful compression of the relatively immobile abdominal organs between the handlebar end and the vertebral bodies. The common femoral artery is also immobile as it passes anterior to the superior pubic ramus, rendering this vessel susceptible to a similar mechanism of injury. We have treated two children who sustained thrombosis of the common femoral artery caused by bicycle handlebar trauma. The lack of familiarity with this uncommon mode of injury may contribute to delayed diagnosis and increased morbidity. We therefore wish to draw attention to this mechanism of injury.
