Summary

For draining the leg of blood exists a venous system. The subfascial veins are the most significant. An insufficiency of the system and the following venous hypertension will be concerned where the mainfunction of the system is situated, in the subfaszial region. By this deficiency of drainage results an extravasal volume overloading (edema) and an increase of the tension of the fascia, what explains the symptoms and the clinical signs. By MRI this edema could be demonstrated and also a therapeutical effect by application of nonelastic compression bandages as designed by Heinrich Fischer.
