ACUTE COMPARTMENT SYNDROME OF THE FOREARM

Hand Clinics, 1998
The forearm is the most common site for compartment syndrome in the upper extremity. The three compartments of the forearm include the volar (anterior or flexor), the dorsal (posterior or extensor), and the mobile wad. Both-bone forearm fractures and distal radius fractures are common initial injuries in adults that lead to acute forearm compartment ...

Acute Compartment Syndrome of the Forearm

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2012
The aims of this study were to document our experience with acute forearm compartment syndrome and to determine the risk factors for the need for split-thickness skin-grafting and the development of complications after fasciotomy.We identified from our trauma database all patients who underwent fasciotomy for an acute forearm compartment syndrome over ...

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 Foot Compartment Syndromes

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1992
Twelve 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 ...

Acute Extremity Compartment Syndrome

Journal of Trauma Nursing, 2000
Acute Extremity Compartment Syndrome is a disorder, which can cause loss of limb if left untreated. Compartment syndrome develops when pressures within the fascial compartments become elevated, resulting in decreased perfusion to muscles and nerves. Left untreated, tissue death occurs.

ACUTE COMPARTMENT SYNDROME OF THE ARM

Hand Clinics, 1998
Compartment syndrome of the arm, although uncommon, may result in significant disability if the diagnosis is missed. A high index of suspicion is needed, particularly in those patients at high risk, especially intoxicated or comatose patients. This article discusses the relevant anatomy, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, and complications of this ...
