title: [Pathways of lymph movement in blockade of the medial superficial lymphatic vessels of the lower extremity].
abstract: A roentgen contrast investigation of the medial superficial lymph vessels has been undertaken in 69 patients (from 16 up to 67 years of age) suffering from various types of the posttraumatic edema when the lymph flow is blocked up. These vessels drain various anatomical areas, flow into certain segments of the lymphatic vessels, limited with definite segments from the beginning of their division up to the next branching of the major vessel. This causes a repeated redirection of the lymph flow along its way to various inguinal lymph nodes. In the lower third of the femur and on the crus from 1 to 6 lymph flows have been revealed at the expense of large lymph vessels of the lower extremities medial surface, which perform the redistribution of the lymph coming from the skin and the subcutaneous fat to various vessels and nodes of the inguinal area.
