Contracture Ischemic

Ischemic contracture is a dangerous and serious disease that is characterized by narrowing of the arteries, which leads to a decrease in blood supply to the affected part of the body. The cause of contracture is ischemic myocardial infarction, when blood flow in the heart muscle is disrupted due to blockage of blood vessels containing atherosclerotic plaques.

In addition, contracture may result from obstruction of other blood vessels or injury. For example, during injuries or operations on blood vessels, damage to the vessel walls may occur, which will lead to the formation of foci of vascular tissue fusion and the formation of clots that block blood circulation in the body tissues. Clinically it may manifest itself as signs of contracture formation.

Signs of ischemic contracture appear depending on the degree of tissue damage. They may vary depending on the location of the lesion. However, common symptoms include severe pain in the limb or body area where the lesion occurs. Swelling of the limb or decreased sensitivity may also occur. In addition, darkening of the skin below the wound, called "blue skin", may occur, indicating that there is a lack of oxygen
