“…The diagnosis of an acute occlusion in popliteal artery after knee dislocation may have more obvious symptoms 3,7,14 . However, chronic occlusion may present solely as a progressive claudication in the extremity 5 . Arterial occlusion, especially a stenosis slowly and gradually progressing toward complete occlusion, results in ischemia and development of collateral vessels 15 .…”

“…The popliteal artery, by virtue of its ligamentous fixation and anatomical relationships, is susceptible to injury with blunt extremity trauma, which may cause vascular injury in the form of occlusion, laceration, perforation, arteriovenous fistula or false aneurysm 3,4 . Popliteal artery injury is associated mainly with high energy injuries such as athletic activities especially in younger population, including knee dislocation and complex fracture of associated bone structures 5,6 . Failure to diagnose may lead to amputation or even death due to systemic inflammatory illness especially in the pediatric population 7,8 .…”

Popliteal artery occlusion is a rare vascular complication after blunt knee trauma and may lead to limb loss if diagnosis is delayed. Development of collateral pathways may misguide the surgeon in planning surgeries for defect reconstruction. We report a case of a patient with popliteal artery occlusion resulting from dislocation of knee after fall from height, which developed a defect anteromedial to ankle following orthopedic surgery. After reconstruction with a free flap, ischemia was observed in foot and arteriography confirmed the occlusion of popliteal artery with well-developed collateral arteries. The patient underwent femoro-popliteal bypass surgery for limb salvation. At the end of the recovery time, the defect was reconstructed with cross leg free flap.

Introduction: Ozone therapy is a frequently applied physiotherapy method. There are reports that ozone has a wide spectrum of possible effects. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine a possible influence of the water baths with ozone on lower limbs muscles perfusion in patients with gonarthrosis. Materials and methods: 30 patients (mean age 62,3±11,0 years) with gonarthrosis (II-III degree according to Seyfried's scale) were included in the study. The patients were assigned to three groups: • Group A (10pts)-water massages with ozone + exercises (kinesitherapy) were applied in this group • Group B (9pts)-water massages without ozone + exercises (kinesitherapy) were applied • Group C (11pts)-kinesitherapy alone was applied. All the patients realized the same kinesitherapy program. Radioisotopic examinations of the lower limbs muscles perfusion in rest were performed before and after the treatment. Results: the study revealed a significant lower limbs muscles perfusion increase in the group A (water massages with ozone were applied in this group). A slight perfusion increase was also observed in other groups (B and C) but the differences were not statistically significant. No patient had any adverse reaction after the applied treatment. Conclusions: The study revealed a significant lower limbs muscles perfusion increase after hydrotherapy with ozone procedures. The results confirm that ozone has a positive influence on microcirculation. Ozonetherapy can be recognized as a safe method as no adverse reactions during and after the treatment were observed in the study.
