Research of peripheral blood circulation in patients with local form of chronic osteomyelitis
Abstract
Expressed asymmetry (54,8 ± 14,37 — 58 ± 6,54 %) of blood flow on the injured extremity was revealed at rheography of peripheral blood flow in all patients with shin bones fractures complicated with local form of chronic traumatic osteomyelitis. The most significant decrease of regional blood flow in injured segment of extremity was revealed in patients with long terms of fracture knitting. Terms of knitting of shin bones fractures depend on the degree of decreasing of regional blood flow in injured segment of extremity. Risk factor of slow knitting of fractures complicated with osteomyelitis is decrease of rheorgraphic index on the injured extremity to 0,016 ± 0,001 ohm. Radioisotope and. ultrasound researches allowed to reveal changes of peripheral blood flow on the injured extremity equivalent to the disorders at posttrombophlebitic disease and. chronic venous insufficiency in patients with shin bones fractures complicated by chronic traumatic osteomyelitis. Larger disorders of blood circulation with simultaneous lesion of superficial and. deep venous systems were registered in distal segments of injured shin at chronic traumatic osteomyelitis. Pathological changes of blood circulation aren't registered in intact extremity.
