Female, 70 years old. She has had hardened edema in her right leg for 7 years. She said the edema appeared after hip orthopedic surgery. It is possible to see a mycosis of nail on the same side of the edema. What is the probable cause of this edema?
Its normal of leg swelling after surgery but max upto 8 weeks .. but here it seems from last 7 years so its not normal at all .. i think its bcz of compressing of vessels or due to thrombus in vein so his distal limb cant get enough blood supply and its reason behind swelling and mucosis of nail ...
