Summary
Circulatory disturbances resulting from excision of the femoral artery in rabbits causes changes in the nerve structures of the muscles and fascia. Experiments staged on 25 rabbits demonstrated that the most pronounced changes in the nerve fibers and motor endings were observed in the anterior group of the femoral muscles. These are accompanied by proliferative-destructive changes in the receptor structures and medullated nerve fibers in the fascia lata of the femur. Restoration of the normal peripheral nerve structure follows development of collateral circulation, which begins to convey blood to the peripheral portions of the extremity.
