Lipid metabolism in patients with shin and hip fractures depending on duration of immobilization

A biochemical study was performed to 20 patients with shin and hip fractures. The age range was between 18 and 50 years. The treatment method was skeletal stretching. It required a longterm limitation of movement activities. Blood was tested on the 7, 14, 21, 28th, and 35th days after traumas. Lipid metabolism was investigated in blood plasma and erythrocytes. Atherogenic changes of lipid metabolism were determined. The results and findings can be recommended for control of influence of movement activities on the courses of posttraumatic processes.
