Causes of pain in the legs:
A. - Hip arthrosis
(Arthrosis deformans coxae),
Femoral neck fracture
B - torn ligament
= Ligament rupture (outside, inside),
Meniscus damage, knee osteoarthritis
C - fibula fracture,
Broken tibia
a - Healthy venous valve
(Valvula) opened - blood flows
only one way
b - Healthy venous valve
closed (resting phase) -
Blood does not flow back
c - Defective (leaky) venous valve
closed - leads to varicose veins
(Varices)
d - thrombosis (vascular disease) -
Partially occluded vein
(Restricted blood flow)
e - Thrombosis - vein complete
closed (no more blood flow)
f - embolism - blood clot
(Embolus) comes off
