Variable:AnatomicalLevelOfArteryInjury
Description:

The level of arterial injury is catagorised into four anatomical zones: Iliac (includes common and external iliac arteries), Femoral (includes common and superficial femoral arteries), Popliteal, and Tibial (includes peroneal, anterior tibial and posterior tibial arteries). The lower limb arteries supply oxygenated blood to the lower limb. Injury to these vessels may compromise the lower limbs blood supply and result in tissue ischaemia.
