GENESIS OF HYPOXIC CONDITIONS IN PATIENTS WITH OPEN FRACTURES OF SHIN BONES IN DYNAMICS OF TREATMENT BY ILIZAROV’S METHOD
Abstract
Indices of energy metabolism in blood serum and partial oxygen and. carbon dioxide pressure in the injured limb tissues were studied in dynamics in 32 patients with open leg fractures (Kaplan-Markova type I-II B, C) during their treatment with the Ilizarov method. It was revealed that circulatory hypoxia, complicated by hemic hypoxia and followed by tissue hypoxia developed sequentially in the tissues of the injured limb segment in the posttraumatic period.
