Paratibial fasciotomy has been employed since 1981 to treat patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and therapy-resistant leg ulcers with severe lipodermatosclerosis. The characteristic morphological changes in CVI were evaluated shown before and after paratibial fasciotomy using computerized tomography (CT) and magnet resonance tomography (MRT). 10 patients (6 female, 4 male) were examined by CT and MRT pre- and postoperatively.
