Diminished Sphenous Compartment Connective Tissue Elasticity has Little Impact on Low Grade Venous Insufficiency: An Ultrasound Shearwave Elastography Study.

Though shear modulus measurement errors may be significant regarding anisotropic structures such as muscles, tendons, vessel walls and nerve bundles; it may be less consequential in the case of saphenous intracompartmental soft tissues because the saphenous compartment is not covered by muscles and intracompartmental connective tissue inside saphenous compartment consists mostly of amorphous adipose tissue which tends to be isotropic.
