Abstract:
We studied circulatory changes in dog hindlimb after tibial thickening by the Ilizarov method. Distraction osteosynthesis promoted the increase in blood supply to hindlimb tissues. Changes in blood flow were most pronounced in a distraction bone regenerate after the distraction period. The increase in the volume of distraction bone regenerate determined more pronounced and long-lasting stimulation of circulation in the extremity.
