Since it can cause serious complications like extremity loss, is an important issue to be considered. There are different opinions in terms of conservative and surgical approach in the event of a pulse failure after reduction. It should be kept in mind that if there are conditions requiring surgical intervention such as coldness, paleness and pulse failure in the extremity, the repair of the damaged vessel segment may be insufficient and it may be necessary to change the entire damaged vessel segment to eliminate endothelial damage caused by traction. In this case report, a surgical approach to iatrogenic brachial artery injury is presented in a 5 years old child who has no radial and ulnar pulse after supracondylar humerus fracture. <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Duzce University}
