The rate of previously not diagnosed chronic insufficiency in patients with knee osteoarthrosis was determined. The effect of treatment measures directed to elimination of venous insufficiency was evaluated. It was shown that in 48.8% of patients chronic venous insufficiency was not diagnosed by orthopaedic surgeons. Observance of therapeutic regimen, use of elastic compression and phlebotropic drugs contributed to the elimination of gonarthrosis symptoms and improved the quality of life (by KOOS scale).
