PECULIARITIES OF DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT TACTICS OF PATIENTS WITH COMBINED LESION OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL AND THE VENOUS SYSTEMS OF THE LOWER LIMBS

Objectives. To improve the treatment of patients with a combined pathology of the musculoskeletal and venous systems of the lower limbs through a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to choice the optimal treatment tactics.
Methods. The results of a comprehensive survey of 452 patients with a combined pathology of the musculoskeletal and venous systems of the lower limbs have been analyzed. Clinical and instrumental studies (ultrasound dopplerography, computer tomography, plantography, goniometry, functional electromyography) were carried out. The patients with the pathology of the musculoskeletal system and accompanying chronic venous diseases of C3-C6 classes were subjected to a combined operative intervention (n=401) aimed to correct insufficiency of the peripheral venous hemodynamics and lymph outflow. Evaluation of life quality of patients was done using the questionnaire “SF-36 Healf Status Survey”. Criteria of the evidence-based medicine were used to evaluate the long-term results of surgical treatment (up to 3 years).
Results. C3 class was diagnosed in 168 (37%), C4 – in 124 (27%), C5 – in 102 (23%) and C6 – in 58 (13%) of all patients. Non-traumatic pathology of the feet was diagnosed in 404 (89%), arthrosis of the foot joints – in 203 (45%) patients. Clinical analysis of movements revealed the abnormalities of the step cycle and functional insufficiency of the lower limbs. Density of the skin and subcutaneous tissue increased up to 8,2±0,16 HU, the muscles in the back compartment of the shin – up to 4,3±0,18 HU. A combined pathology of the musculoskeletal and venous systems leads to the development of congestive arthrogenic syndrome. At C5-C6 classes the formation of chronic compartment syndrome is considered to be possible. At comorbidity of venous pathology of C3-C6 classes it is required to correct firstly the venous insufficiency. Orthopedic surgery was performed within 1-3 months after rehabilitation.
Conclusions. During medical rehabilitation of patients with combined lesions of the musculoskeletal and the venous system of the lower limbs, the multidisciplinary approach is considered to be necessary. The designed criteria of the systemic functional approach in diagnostics and treatment help to avoid common mistakes in treatment of the given category of patients.
