Incidences of injuries to peripheral veins indicated certain proportions among vascular injuries, most of venous injuries were accompanied by arterial injuries. Elevated venous pressure is an important factor which cause a compression syndrome in muscular compartment of the extremities when the injured major veins are ligated or not repaired. Persistent red deep color bleeding at wound site, diffusive subcutaneous hematoma, edema and cyanosis of the extremities are characteristics of the venous injuries. The examinations of Dopplor ultrasound and phlebography would be available for diagnosis of the venous injuries. The repair means include lateral sutere, vein pathch grafts, end-to-end anastomosis and autogenous venous grafts. The venous thrombosis may occur at the early phase after repair operations and also could be prevented.
