Abstract

The ultrasound diagnostic procedure is of great help in observing the changes within front shin compartment. 100 patients had the diametrical scan of the front shin compartment at three levels of the same distance, made with ultrasound with the linear probe of 7.5 MHz. We repeated the measuring at the same levels with the feet in the neutral position as well as in dorsal and plantar flexion. In case of feet dorsal flexion, the proximal diameter of the surface is increasing by 26.86%, whereas in case of middle and distal diameter decreases. The volume of this space it increases by 4.13% in feet dorsal flexion, and by 1.13% in feet plantar flexion.
