A vascular injury may be classified as penetrating, or Penetrating blunt injury is often obvious, resulting in laceration of the vessel wall. Meanwhile, blunt trauma cause variable damage to the vessel wall, from miniscule intimal flap to transmural damage with extravasation or thrombosis. There are several methods to diagnose vascular trauma in limb fractures. However, physical examination is still the first and foremost modality in diagnosing vascular trauma. Then, we can use the Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test or Color Doppler ultrasound, and angiography is required if ABI is
