Injury, 2016
Acute compartment syndrome is a well-known complication of tibial fractures, yet it remains difficult to diagnose and the only effective treatment is surgical fasciotomy. Delayed fasciotomy is the most important factor contributing to poor outcomes, and as a result, treatment is biased towards performing early fasciotomy.

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1991
Orthopaedic nurses must be continually alert for the dreaded complication of fractures, acute compartment syndrome (ACS). This article reviews the current literature on predisposing factors, pathophysiology (including systemic factors), assessments, various diagnostic methods, and treatments of patients at risk for, or encountering, ACS. A nursing care

Pediatric Acute Compartment Syndrome
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2017Pediatric acute compartment syndrome (PACS) is a clinical entity that must be carefully differentiated from the adult version (ie, acute compartment syndrome). Healthcare providers must understand the variable etiologies of PACS, of which trauma is the most common but can also include vascular insult, infection, surgical positioning, neonatal phenomena,

Acute Noncontact Compartment Syndrome
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2000Although acute compartment syndrome is considered a surgical emergency, controversies exist regarding diagnosis, surgical indications, and techniques of management. Acute compartment syndrome is associated with numerous causes, including fractures, crush injuries, burns, soft tissue injuries, and vascular trauma.

Acute Foot Compartment Syndromes
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1992Twelve cases of compartment syndrome of the foot in 10 patients were retrospectively reviewed. All were high-energy injuries sustained in a fall from a height (six), crush (three), or motor vehicle accident (three). Bone injuries of the foot included five calcaneal fractures, three multiple metatarsal and/or phalangeal fractures, and two Lisfranc ...

Summary Compartment syndrome can occur in any myofascial muscle compartment. If left untreated it can lead to ischaemic contractures and severe disabilities. A high index of suspicion is required in at risk cases. Compartment pressure monitoring is a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of raised compartment pressure especially when clinical assessment is ...

Acute compartment syndrome is a serious complication of injury. It occurs when raised pressure within a closed osteofascial compartment compromises the circulation and function of tissues within the compartment. Most cases are caused by fracture. The largest group are tibial diaphyseal fractures, followed by soft tissue injury, crush syndrome, distal ...

ACUTE PARASPINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2005Acute compartment syndrome is the condition of raised pressure within an enclosed compartment, such that the perfusion and the function of the tissues within are compromised, resulting in ischemia and eventually necrosis. Although, in theory, it can occur in any compartment, it is most commonly seen in the lower limb.
