Does [ Results of treatment of lower leg fractures with functional lower leg cast ]?
Treatment of lower leg fractures is not simple. We especially point to problems with circulation and skin which have to be controlled over and over. There are reports of rejecting operational method as a method for lower leg fracture treating. Our results are the same as those achieved by other authors. Reposition of bone fragments must be performed with special attention. It is best if it is performed during total anesthesia, because muscles are relaxed and therefore circulation gets better, intensity of pain decreases and there are no skin necroses. In few cases, at the beginning of treatment there were skin blisters which only lengthened the treatment. These problems were prevented by early reposition, retention of bone parts and elevation of extremities.
Very high atrial appendage wall stresses are required to increase plasma atrial natriuretic factor markedly. Atrial stretch and the release of atrial natriuretic factor are non-linearly related. The stimulus for atrial natriuretic factor release is related to the exponential changes in atrial function due to the underlying atrial compliance relationship.
