An angiotomography of the upper left limb showed a median artery originating as a continuation of the anterior interosseous artery and ending in the palm of the hand with an incomplete superficial palmar arch.\r\n\r\n\r\nTreatment and Outcomes:\r\nLigation of both radial and ulnar arteries was performed. It was not possible to follow up with the patient.\r\n\r\n\r\nClinical Relevance:\r\nForming the superficial and deep palmar arches, the irrigation of the hand comes from the ulnar and radial arteries, which can compromise the viability of the limb when injured. The median artery is present in 0.6-21.1% of the population, originates from the anterior interosseous artery (branch of the ulnar), accompanies the median nerve in its path and ends in the palm joining the superficial palmar arch. Diagnostic imaging is a key tool for assessing arterial circulation and characterizing upper limb vascular lesions. Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the arterial supply of the hand, including variability of the superficial palmar arch, is crucial for the safety and success of hand surgeries.\r\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25100\/cm.v52i2.4521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]],"date-time":"2021-05-26T23:54:13Z","timestamp":1622073253000},"page":"e5024521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25100\/cm.crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Traumatic injury of radial and ulnar artery with perfusion of the hand through the median artery: a case report"],"prefix":"10.25100","volume":"52","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5465-4112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Calder\u00f3n Ardila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2277-7446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Ra\u00fal","family":"Ballesteros Larrota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1082-4092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Andrea","family":"Calder\u00f3n Ardila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8981-5104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis Ernesto","family":"Ballesteros Acu\u00f1a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10728","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"51529","unstructured":"Drake R, Vogl A.
