| description | Complete transection of the common femoral artery is more frequent after penetrating injuries than after blunt trauma, with most of the cases occurring in combination with fractures. Contusion from a bicycle handlebar is a rare form of injury to the femoral vessels.

He required an emergency intervention and a bypass reconstruction. Keywords: Handlebar syndrome, Femoral artery transection, Blunt trauma, Groin hematoma |
