Among other things, the patient may not immediately present with signs of hemodynamic instability, similar to our reported case. The clinician may also be invested in treating the patient according to the Advanced Trauma Life Support protocol. When treating blunt hip trauma patients, clinicians should recognize that even blunt trauma to the femur may critically damage the femoral artery and nerve.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.11.036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]],"date-time":"2020-11-23T12:22:00Z","timestamp":1606134120000},"page":"695-697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Combined injury of femoral artery and femoral nerve after blunt trauma to the proximal femur"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Abdulaziz","family":"AlKheraiji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulaziz","family":"AlHakbani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-156-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"rjy137","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjy137","article-title":"Superficial femoral artery transection following penetrating trauma","volume":"2018","author":"Dharia","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
