Experimental staged study of blood flow in crus lengthening by Ilizarov was performed in 23 adult dogs. The results of electromagnetic flowmetry showed that distraction of crus tissues contributed to the decrease of the rate by volume in the femoral artery but the formation of the distraction bone regenerate - to its increase. Lengthening of the crus was accompanied by the accelerated transit of blood from the arterial bed to the venous one which was maintained by the vascular network of bone regenerate. Basing on the changes in pressure gradient it has been concluded that stimulation of blood circulation in the extremity was dependent on the responce of cardio-vascular system as a whole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
