Abstract

Patients suffering from a major orthopaedic pathology, meaning those diseases or syndromes that involve large bodily segments as the spine, the hip and the knee, often show different associated diseases that may complicate the normal course of surgical treatment. Beyond the usual and normal preoperative procedures, these patients need a careful study of the co-morbidity factors, which even in physiological terms — these subjects are often elderly — complicate the surgical procedure and the post-operative course. Specifically, we will discuss associated vascular pathologies and the available diagnostic tools (Doppler c. w., eco-color-Doppler, power Doppler), used not only to assess the pathologies in question, if present, but to perform a follow-up during the post-operative course, until implementation of the rehabilitation programmes.
