Thrombosis or aneurysm of the ulnar artery after occupational trauma to the hand is not uncommon. A series of 14 patients with such lesions, diagnosed by arteriography, has been documented. It is concluded that in patients with pain along the ulnar side of the hand after an injury the absence of vascular signs does not exclude injury to the ulnar artery, and arteriography should be carried out to exclude not only an ulnar artery thrombosis but also an aneurysm which may cause symptoms by pressure on the ulnar nerve or by digital embolism.
手部职业性创伤后尺动脉血栓形成或动脉瘤并不少见。已记录了经动脉造影诊断的14例患有此类病变的患者。得出的结论是，手部受伤后尺侧疼痛的患者，即使没有血管体征也不能排除尺动脉损伤，应进行动脉造影，不仅要排除尺动脉血栓形成，还要排除可能因压迫尺神经或指端栓塞而引起症状的动脉瘤。
