[Significance of the ankle joint pump for returning venous blood. Report of experiences using a mechanical treatment method]

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Vascular Medicine
• Orthopedics

Context:

• Venous reflux in the lower extremity is a common clinical issue.
• Postoperative thrombosis and venous insufficiency present significant health challenges.
• Ankylosis of the ankle can lead to secondary pathological changes affecting venous circulation.

Purpose:

• To introduce novel medicomechanic equipment for managing lower extremity venous reflux.
• To present a device for the prophylaxis of thrombosis post-surgery.
• To offer a treatment for secondary manifestations of venous insufficiency and ankle ankylosis-related issues.

Summary:

• The study details new medicomechanic equipment engineered to enhance venous reflux in the lower extremities.
• The equipment is designed for postoperative thrombosis prophylaxis.
• It is also indicated for treating secondary symptoms of venous insufficiency and pathological changes associated with ankle ankylosis.

Impact:

• Potential to reduce the incidence of postoperative thrombosis.
• Offers a new therapeutic option for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency.
• May improve patient outcomes and quality of life for those with mobility-related venous complications.
