superficialveins,whicharesufficienttocausesoft,pittingedemainadditiontothechronic, brawnyedema.1Edemasecondarytochronicvenousstasiscausesbloodtopoolinthevenous
system, which activates inflammatory process and causes capillary damage. Furthermore, venousstasisulcerstendtodemonstrateimpaired wound healingduetointracellularedema, plateletaggregation,andleukocyteactivation.Venousstasisulcersarethemostcommonform ofulcerationpresentonthelowerextremity. These ulcers tendtobesuperficial,bepainful, and have irregular borders and are located over bony prominences. Ulcerations are an important sequela of edema secondary to chronic venous insufficiency, accounting for
approximately80%oflowerextremityulcerations.

SuperficialThrombophlebitis
Historyofcausative/contributingfactors:temporallyrelateddevelopmentoftender,indurated superficial“cord”extendingavariabledistancealongthepathofsuperficialvein,associated with erythema, warmth, and tenderness during the acute stage; thrombus usually remains palpable for days or weeks after diminution of the acute inflammation. Although systemic
symptomsusuallyareabsent,alow-grade fever maybepresent.
1,24
Physicalsigns: although pitting, edema is not soft, because inflammatory process can be expected to alter microvascularpermeability;importantly,edema usuallyisuniforminconsistencyinthearea
drainedbytheobstructedvein.
24
DeepVeinThrombosisand/orThrombophlebitis
History of causative/contributing factors: temporally related conditions associated with enforced bed rest or physical inactivity, particularly if extremities are immobilized (e.g., orthopedicorabdominalsurgery,prolongedairplaneflight,childbirth,traumaticinjury,orany particularlydebilitating illness). Diagnosis generallyrequiressupportfrom objective testing (e.g., contrast venography, Doppler ultrasonography, radionuclide-based thrombus imaging) and leads to chronic venous hypertension of the affected lower extremity when the leg is
dependent.2Historyoftemporalfactors:edema maydevelopgradually, overafew days,or morerapidlyoverhours,dependingonthelocationandextentoftheunderlyingprocess.
1,2,24
Whenthrombosis isunusuallyextensive, edema can occurrelativelyabruptly, with massive sudden swelling and intense cyanosis of extremity. The latter presumably results from particularly complete oxygen extraction from blood flowing very slowly through the capillaries, combined with compromise of arterial and arteriolar flow resulting from the externalmechanicalpressureoftherapidlyaccumulatingedemaandengorgedveins.Indeed,in thissetting,pulsesinthelimbaresubnormalorabsent;gangrenecanresultiftheobstructionto
the arterial flow is particularly severe,1 as inthe condition known as phlegmasia cerulean dolens,whichcancauseshockbytrappingalargequantityofbloodintheswollenextremity. Phlegmasia cerulean dolens primarily is associated with advanced or metastatic
malignancies.1Even insomewhatless severedeepvenous obstruction,fluidcanaccumulate beneath thedeep fascia. Symptoms: deep venous thrombosis or thrombophlebitis cancause
localizeddull,achingpain,whichcanbequitesevere,particularlywhenlimbisdependent,

butlackofpaindoesnotruleoutthiscause.Low-gradefevermaybecommon,butrigorsare uncommonandlymphadenopathyandlymphangiticstreakingareabsent.1Physical signs:soft,
pittingedemaoftendevelopswithin 24 to48hours ofthethrombosisandcanbe extensive. Associatedinflammationcancauselocalwarmth,tenderness,erythema,andevencyanosis;it
canoccurasinchronicvenousinsufficiency.
1,2
Superficialveinscanbeprominent1(asingle
“sentinel”veinmaybeobserved),andtendernessondeeppalpationcanbepresent.
1,2
Lymphedema
History of causative/contributing factors: any condition associated with obstruction of lymphatics or incompetence of lymphatic valves, resulting in lymph stasis, increased intralymphaticpressure,andinefficientdrainageoftheinterstitium(e.g.,femoralarterybypass surgery, which appears to damage and interfere with surrounding lymphatics, or local
infection).1Lymphedemacanbesubclassifiedaccordingtothecause:(1)primarylymphedema (idiopathic) can be congenital or acquired, commonly affects drainage of cutaneous or
subcutaneouslymphaticsinthelegs
1,2
;primarylymphedemacanbefurthersubclassifiedinto
(a) lymphedema tarda, whichbecomes apparent only after age 40, raising concern ofother common causes (e.g., malignancy)1; (b) primary congenital lymphedema (either nonfamilial
[“simple”]orfamilial[Milroydisease]),presentatbirth,andusuallyinvolvingonlyonelower extremitythatmanifests aplasia, hypoplasia, or varicose dilationofthelymphaticvessels
1,2
; (c)primaryacquiredlymphedema(lymphedemapraecox),idiopathicbutapparentlyinvolving asubnormallydevelopedlymphaticsystem,notseenbeforeadolescencebutusuallypresenting
beforeage30andpredominatelyaffectingwomen.2Characteristically,thisformisassociated with a “hump” on the dorsum of thefoot, although upper extremities can be involved, and edemadevelopment isslow,typicallyinvolvinganentirelimboverthe courseofmonthsto years;althoughcommonlyunilateral,bothlimbsmaybeaffected.Inearlystages,edemaissoft andpainlessanddisappearsovernight.Lymphangitisand/orcellulitisoccurswithinweeksto
months of edema ina minority of cases
1,2
;(2) secondary(obstructive) lymphedema maybe
inflammatory or noninflammatory1 and most commonly is secondary to malignancy. The noninflammatory form almost always is unilateral and typically results from metastatic carcinoma involving regional lymph nodes or after irradiation or surgical lymph node
resection,2butcanoccurwithretroperitonealfibrosisandotherconditions1;theinflammatory form results from lymphangitis (sometimes recurrent) or cellulitis, commonly caused by
infection,localtraumaticinjury,filariasis,etc.,1andisoftenassociatedwithfever.Historyof temporalfactors:allformsusuallydevelopslowlyovermonthsoryears.Symptoms:usually
painless.1 Physical signs: soonafter onset, edema is soft and pitting; in chronic stages, as subcutaneousfibrosisdevelops,theskin thickens,andedemamayresistpittingandisfirmer thanthatassociatedwithchronicvenousobstruction;superficialveinsarenotdilated,another
pointofdifferentiationfromchronicvenousobstruction.1Clinically,differentiationfromdeep venousthrombosismaybedifficultunlesspainispresent(generallynotpresentwithlymphatic obstruction); venograms can rule out venous obstruction,butlymphangiograms then may be
necessarytoconfirmlymphangiticabnormality.

Lymphangitis
Likelymphedema,lymphangitisfeatureslymphaticobstruction,inthiscasebythrombosisand fibrosis,whichoccurssecondarytolocalparasitic(dermatophytoses)andbacterialinfections, typicallyintroduced inthe footandankle.The lymph stasis thatis producedpredisposes to recurrentcellulitis, inturn causingrecurrentlymphangitis.Physical signs:although typically
restrictedtothefootandankle,inflammationandedemamayspreaduptheleg.
1,2
Infection
Although infection can cause lymphangitis and lymphedema, occasionally a particularly virulent infection presents acutely with characteristics that justify a separate classification. Historyofcausative/contributingfactors:traumabreakingtheskin(wound,cut,abrasion,ulcer, contusion,scratch,hangnail,pinprick,orvesicle)allowsforinvasionofmicroorganisms;the areabetweenthetoesisthemostcommonsite,becauseitisoftensoftenedfromchronictinea
pedis infection.
1,2
 History of temporal factors: dramatic development of edema, with
subsequent complete disappearance, occasionally featuring similarly characterized recurrences.2 Infections that commonly cause sudden, unilateral edema include filariasis,
particularly in tropical climates, clostridia infections causing gas gangrene, and agents associated with chronic osteomyelitis.1 Symptoms and physical signs: pronounced fever, rigors, malaise, other nonspecific systemic symptoms, and localized pain2 associated with
rapidandevenexplosivedevelopmentoflocalwarmth,tenderness,erythema,“lymphangitic” streaks following the course of affected lymphatics from the infection site, and regional lymphadenopathy.Dermatophytosisofthetoesmayenablerecurrentattacks,probablycaused bysecondarybacterialinvaders;inflammationandedemaarerestrictedtothefootandankle
butcanspreaduptheleg.
2
Trauma
Mechanicalinjurycanaffectcharacteristicsofmicrovasculaturedirectlyresultinginedema.
1,2
Inaddition,traumaticinjurytoveinscanresultinvenousthrombosisandprovideaskinportal forentryofinfectiousagents.
Position-RelatedEdema
SeeBilateralEdema.
2
VascularAnomalies
Arteriovenousfistulasmustbeconsideredinthedifferentialdiagnosisofedemabecausethey cancause edema (e.g., bymechanical pressure or microvasculature) and canresultinlimb enlargement, which can mimic edema. History of causative/contributing factors: traumatic penetrating injury. Physical signs: thrill and bruit overlying the lesion, abnormal limb circumference;hemangiomasorothervascularanomaliesandsevere,unilateral,varicose,or
dilatedveins in unusual places mayindicate a congenital fistula.1 Angiography andvenous
https://t.me/medicina_free
oxygensaturationdeterminationscanconfirmthediagnosis.
2
Klippel–Trenaunay–WeberSyndrome
Presentationofmuscular, bony, and soft tissue hypertrophy, persistent nevus flammeus, and varicose veins usually involving a singlelower limb may be associated with arteriovenous
fistulas.
1
Tumors
Lipomas, hemangiomas, hemangiolymphangiomas, sarcomas, neuroepitheliomas, and osteosarcomascancauseunilaterallimbedema,usuallyrelativelylocalizedtotheproximityof
thetumor,
1,2
unlikethemoreextensiveanddiffuseedemaofseveralothercommonprocesses. Tumorsalsocancausemoreextensiveedemabyextrinsicmechanicalcompressionofvascular structures.
FactitiousEdema
Edemacausebyself-inflictedconstrictionofveins,aswithatourniquet.Whenreported,such edemagenerallyfollowsnopatternsuggestiveofaknowncause;onexamination,theremaybe a sharply defined region of edema consistent with the application of the constricting
apparatus.
2
GastrocnemiusRupture
Typicallytheresultofathleticeffort,gastrocnemiusruptureissudden,acutelypainful(usually mid-calf),commonlyassociatedwithalargeecchymosisindependentareas(foot,ankle)from internalhemorrhage.Theincreasedlimbcircumferencemustbedifferentiatedfromedemaand also causes edema as vascular structures are compressed by the internal hemorrhage and
hematoma.
1,2
PoplitealCyst,PoplitealSyndrome
Mechanicalcompressionofvenousstructuresbycystoraneurysmcancauseedemalikethatof venousthrombosis;differentialclueisthepalpationofthecysticstructureonexamination.
2
CompartmentSyndrome
Increased tissue pressure in the region of the anterior tibial artery as a result of trauma, thrombosis,orembolismcancausesevereischemia,edema,andpainovertheanteriortibial
compartment.2Edemawithintheconfinedspacemaycompressarterialstructuressufficiently to compromise viability of muscle and nerve structures within the compartment, requiring
fasciotomytopreventgangrene.1Compartmentsyndromewithinthefootandlowerlegcanbe identified by four main symptoms: pain, paresthesia, paresis, and pain with stretch. Pulse examinationandpinkskincolorcanalsoaidindiagnosis.Withinthefoot,intracompartmental pressure should be correlated with the diastolic pressure. Today, indication for surgical
https://t.me/medicina_free
intervention (fasciotomy) depends on a differential pressure betweencompartment pressure and diastolic pressure of less than 30 mmHg.25 Certain injuries have a higher risk in
developing compartmentsyndrome;forexample, withinthe foot,ChopartandLisfrancjoint dislocationsarefrequentlyassociatedwithcompartmentsyndromewhereasinisolatedmidfoot
fractures,compartmentsyndromeisrarelyobserved.
25
RetroperitonealFibrosis
Asnotedpreviously,thisentitycancausesecondarylymphedema.Inaddition,retroperitoneal fibrosiscancompromisearterialflowtotheaffectedlimb.
1,2
AngioneuroticEdema(HereditaryAngioedema)
This isanoninflammatoryandhereditarydiseasecharacterizedbylocalized swelling ofthe skin,internalorgans,andmucousmembranesandcausedbylackofC1esteraseinhibitorofthe firstcomponentofcomplementC1esterase,resultinginincreasedcapillarypermeabilityand
precapillary arteriolar dilation.2 History of temporal factors: attacks are episodic, usually begininadolescence,andareoftenprecededbyanxietyandtriggeredbytraumaorinfection, althoughanidentifiabletriggermaynotexist.Initialsiteofedemamaybeoneofminortrauma
(e.g., athletic contact).26 Frequency of attacks varies, from weekly to yearly or longer. Symptoms: abdominal pain, tightness, or tingling of skin, followed by a nonpruritic and
painlessrash.Symptomsareusuallyshortlived.27Attackscommonlyareprecededbybloating, anorexia,vomiting,constipation,andnausea.26Signs:stridor(resultingfrompotentiallylethal
edematousairwayobstruction),edemainupperextremitiesandoropharynx(upperface,trunk, extremities;lowertrunkandlowerextremitiesarerarelyswollen);lesionsarenonpittingand
erythematous.
26
PretibialMyxedema
Unlike the myxedema associatedwithhypothyroidism, which mayresultfrom alterations in capillarypermeabilityandinthesynthesisanddegradationratesofplasmaproteins,pretibial
myxedema is an unusual manifestation of hyperthyroidism.
1,2,28
 The pathogenesis may be relatedtoanincreaseinosmoticallyactivemucopolysaccharideproductionintheinterstitium, producing a brawny, nonpitting edema, often with plaque formation of the overlying skin, affectingthepretibialregionanddorsumofthefoot.Thebasisfortherarityofthisfindingin the hyperthyroid population is unclear. Pretibial myxedema is seen in combination with
exophthalmosandmaynotresolvewithtreatmentoftheunderlyingdisease.

CONCLUSION
Peripheraledemaresultsfromwell-definedpathophysiologicprocessesthatcanbevariously combinedin many disease entities. Theclinicalpresentation,specifically, the character and distribution of edema, depends on the pathophysiologic mechanisms involved ineach case. The operative pathophysiology is at least partially inferable from the clinical evaluation. Althoughbeyond thescope ofthischapter, such recognitionis important inselectionamong therapeuticmodalitiesfortheconditionsofwhichedemaisafeature.

THROMBOEMBOLICDISEASEOVERVIEW
Although Rudolf Virchow, a German pathologist and biologist, initially described the phenomenonofvenousthromboembolism(VTE)in1856,itstruemorbidityandmortalitywas notappreciateduntilmanyyearslater.Approximately90%ofclinicallysignificantPEsarise fromproximalDVTofthelowerextremities,anditisestimatedthatPEsareassociatedwith
5%to10%ofallhospitaldeathsintheUnitedStatesannually.

VTE is the third most common vascular disease, following acute ischemic attacks and cerebrovascular accidents.3 A DVT occurs when one or more of the calf veins become
obstructedtovenousbloodflow.TheformationofDVTismultifactorialandbestdescribedby Virchow.14Infact,Virchow’striadofhypercoagulability,endothelialinjury,andvenousstasis
provides thefoundation for understanding thepathogenesis of DVT formationafter footand ankle surgery and trauma.15 For example, orthopedic surgery causes the release of
thromboplastinsthatcanactivatethecoagulationcascadeandresultinahypercoagulablestate. Similarly,endothelialinjuryiscommoninsurgery,andvenousstasisoccurswiththeuseofa tourniquetorpostoperativeimmobilizationafterfootandanklesurgery.Postoperativeswelling andlimitedambulationfurthercontributetovenousstasis,andprovide anidealenvironment
forclotformation.

The majority of these thrombi occur in the deep veins of the calf; however, clot propagationtomoreproximalveinsisknowntooccuraswell.Morespecifically,therateof
propagation after total knee replacement surgery has been documented at 23%,16 which underscorestheimportanceoflongitudinalfollow-up.APEoccurswhenaDVTinthepelvis or lower extremity embolizes through the right heart and gets lodged in the pulmonary vasculature. This event results in an obstruction of pulmonary perfusion and subsequent oxygenation of blood. Although themajorityof PEs are asymptomatic, theseevents maybe

RISKFACTORSFORTHROMBOEMBOLICDISEASE
Multiple risk factors have been identified as increasing a patient’s predisposition to thromboembolic disease. Given the multifactorial nature of thromboembolic disease, it is importanttorecognizethepresenceofmultipleriskfactorsineachpatientandtostratifythe riskofthromboembolicdiseaseineachpatientaccordingly.Afewstudieshavelookedatthe mostimportantriskfactorsforthromboembolicdiseaseinpatientsundergoinglowerextremity
surgery, some of which are listed in Table 8-2. For example, Barg et al.10 concluded that obesity,historyofpreviousthromboembolicdisease,andabsenceoffullweight-bearingstatus postoperativelyareindependentriskfactorsfordevelopingsymptomaticDVTaftertotalankle
replacement.Similarly, Jameson et al.12 foundincreasing age andmultiple comorbidities as beingriskfactorsforthromboemboliceventsafterfootandankletraumasurgeryinaBritish
NationalHealthServiceregistry.Morerecently,Shibuyaetal.7foundthatolderage,obesity, andhigherinjuryseverityscorearesignificantlyassociatedwiththedevelopmentofDVTand PEafterfootandankletrauma.Otherknownriskfactorsforthromboembolicdiseaseinclude rheumatoidarthritis,recentairtravel,malignancy,hypercoagulablestates,pregnancy,andoral
contraceptiveuse.
