[Para-tibial fasciotomy].
Since 1981 the paratibial fasciotomy is being increasingly used in the treatment of chronic venous congestion with persisting ulcers and severe dermatosclerosis. We now overlook more than 1800 successful operations. In a prospective study on patients who underwent paratibial fasciotomy, we are still finding a high healing-quotient in respect to the leg ulcers. The construction of a special fasciotomy has led to the elimination of serious complications.
