  • Title: [Ischemic contractures of muscle and nerve lesions (author's transl)].
    Author: Assmus H, Mischkowsky T, Kröger M.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1975 Dec; 113(6):1057-64. PubMed ID: 175601.
    Abstract:
    Reporting 14 own cases symptomatology and treatment of the common ischemic syndromes of the extremities (Volkmann's contracture, thumb adduction contracture respectively contracture of the intrinsic hand muscles and anterior tibial syndrome) including the regularly concomitant nerve lesions are discussed. Edema and compression beyond the primary ischemia are essential factors in pathogenesis of nerve and muscle lesions. The electromyographic examination is helpful in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the severe sequelae of nerve and muscle. Since late diagnosis yields poor therapeutical results, early recognition of ischemic states and prophylaxis are most important.
