[Complex diagnosis of trophic disorders in postthrombophlebitic disease]

Trophic disorders in the tissues of diseased extremities were studied in 530 patients with thrombophlebitis. Four clinical degrees of such disorders were found. The authors have shown that in the first and second degrees of trophic disorders changes in the tissues were of the compensated, subcompensated and practically reversible character, while in the third and fourth degrees they resulted in decompensation of the extremity functions and were found to be irreversible. The conclusion is made that results of the surgical treatment are directly dependent on the degree of the regional trophic disorders.
