[Vascular bed of a lymph node and lymphodynamics after leg lengthening by the G. A. Ilizarov method].

In the experiments performed on dogs, the right shin has been elongated, lymph movement has been studied in the extremity, as well as in the arteries of the popliteal and medial iliac lymph nodes. The lymph movement rate immediately after fracture decreases 6 times, and during the elongation process it gradually restores with normalization on the 14th day of distraction. The integrity of the arterial bed in the lymph node is not disturbed during the elongation process of the shin. The intraorganic bed of the regional lymph nodes reacts to the shin elongation by increasing diameter of the arteries and the number of the functioning vessels. The changes in the arterial bed demonstrate an acceleration of the blood stream in the lymph nodes under the elongation of the shin. After osteogenesis normalization in the lymph stream takes place.
