Injury of an artery has a significantly worse prognosis for the patient than a venous injury. Blunt injuries of lower limb digital arteries with the development of acute ischemia present a very rare phenomenon. A crush mechanism with a defect of the non-wetted surface of vessel's inner part and the development of subsequent thromboischemic lesion is essential for the development of ischemia. We report a blunt injury of the right lower limb in a patient after incorrect stepping with subsequent lesion of digital arteries and the development of acute acral ischemia of the right toes.
