Introduction: Extremity vascular trauma is common in civilian population following RTA. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results following intervention in extremity vascular trauma cases admitted in Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital , Chennai , during period 1st July 2016 to 31st June 2018. Method Of Study: Prospective study Results: Of 94 cases,Commonly injured artery was popliteal artery (31.9%). Most of the cases were treated with interposition vein bypass(88.29%) and remaining with primary repair(6.38%), ligation(4.25%) and thrombectomy (1.06%). Failure following repair was 6.66% . Limb salvage rate was 96.8%. Conclusion: Early intervention with interposition vein bypass with proper technique and proper case selection with adequate fasciotomy and wound care yield better results.
