[Changes in electric excitability and metabolism in the muscles of replanted extremity]

The authors have studied the dynamics of variation of redox enzymes in the muscles of replanted extremity in 40 adult dogs, which endured replantation of long-ischemized (18-21 degrees C, 4-6 h) extremities. It was discovered that during the postoperative period of observation (45 days) in the muscles of the replanted extremity are preserved obvious degenerative and dystrophic changes and decrease of metabolic and rehabilitation reaction. On the basis of the obtained data the authors employed the effective pathogenetic therapy.
