Abstract

Thromboembolism is the most common cause of acute arterial occlusion. Prolonged external compression of the upper extremity may rarely result in acute arterial occlusion. One rare cause of chronic external compression is improper use of axillary crutches. This case report presents a 44-year-old male patient who developed acute arterial occlusion due to improper crutch use.
