[Changes in hemodynamics of the long bone due to tunnelization under pulsing and non-pulsing pressure in a shaft cavity].

In 25 dogs, it was revealed that the pressure in a long bone shaft cavity (IBP) pulsed at relatively high values. According to rheovasography data, the pulse changes of the vascular blood filling of a shaft cavity caused the IBP. The blood filling changes at pulsing IBP produced pulse changes in interstitial fluid amount, at non-pulsing IBP they provided for fluid coming into the interstitial space of the shaft cavity without pulsations. Tunnelization led to appearance of compact substance defect, at the size of which, coming to 2.4% of shaft area, IBP always decreased, remained decreased during 2 months and restored during the third month. The IBP decrease changed the bone hemodynamics.
