MORPHOLOGY OF LOWER LIMB MUSCLES IN MECHANICAL INJURY OF LOWER LIMB

The study included 48 adult rats with mechanical injuries of the lower limb, divided into two groups. The first group (24 rats) received local anesthesia, the second group (24 rats) - general anesthesia. In all patients, biopsies were taken from the muscles of the lower limb for histological analysis 24 and 72 hours after injury. The following morphometric parameters were assessed: muscle fiber edema, inflammatory infiltration, degenerative changes and muscle tissue regeneration.
