Results
The results of ultrasound examination revealed significant (p≤0.05) increase in the cross-sectional area and thickness (compared with the age norm,
Fig.1) of the sciatic nerve at the gluteal fold lower in the 1D group 56% (Fig.2),
in group 2C - 27%,
2D - 30%,
3D group 16%; tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa (compared with the age norm,
Fig.3) in group 2C to 33%,
in the 3D group 76% (Fig.4); common peroneal nerve at the popliteal fossa (compared with the age norm,
Fig.5) in a group 3D 75% (Fig.6).
Significant reduction in the size of the tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa level in group 1B - by 14%,
group 2B - 28% and the total peroneal nerve at the popliteal fossa level in group 1B - by 28%,
group 2B-by 42%.
Qualitative assessment of peripheral nerves of the lower extremities revealed an increase in the echogenicity of nerve trunks-in 71% of cases,
a significant smoothness of intra-neural beam differentiation of the sciatic and tibial nerves in 13% of cases,
the total peroneal nerve in 6.6% of cases,
moderate smoothness of intra-neural beam differentiation-the sciatic nerve in 52% of cases,
the tibial nerve in 56% of cases,
the total peroneal nerve in 6.6% of cases.
