TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Recreational bicycling and injury to the external iliac artery JO - American surgeon A1 - Roth, J. W. A1 - Boyd, C. R. SP - 460 EP - 463 VL - 65 IS - 5 N2 - Because the bony girdle of the pelvis protects the external iliac artery except where it enters the femoral canal, reports of blunt injury to this artery are rare. Emphasizing the importance of a thorough physical examination and judicious use of angiography, this case study discusses the diagnosis and treatment of an isolated external iliac artery injury rendered by a bicycle handlebar, a previously unreported cause of this type of injury.
