Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Tennis is a popular, safe sport that exposes amateur or professional players to minimal risk of injury. Most of this risk is related to musculoskeletal injuries, and vascular trauma is extremely rare. We present a case of a 68-year-old man in whom intermittent claudication developed after his right groin was struck by a tennis ball. The patient sought medical evaluation 2 months after the accident, and a subtotal occlusion of his right common femoral artery was disclosed by angiography and treated by endarterectomy. |
