Ischaemic contractures of the lower limb.

چکیده
Post-traumatic contractures of the foot as well as of the hand were described by Volkmann himself but, in spite of the considerable literature concerning the aetiology and treatment of the upper limb contractures which go by his name, the subject of ischaemic deformities of the leg has received comparatively little attention. The following paper briefly reviews the features of this well defined and not uncommon syndrome.

متن کاملEffect of Dexamethasone on Preventing Tibial Nerve Conduction Velocity Loss in Tourniquet Neurepathic Rat
