Abstract
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. Hereby, we present a case of complete common femoral artery transection caused by a direct bicycle handlebar trauma. The patient suffered severe hypovolemia during his transfer to the Emergency room. He required an emergency intervention and a bypass reconstruction.
