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.

Acute paraspinal compartment syndrome
Ugeskrift for LægerA 46-year-old healthy man developed an acute compartment syndrome in his left erector spinae muscle after crossfit training. He was diagnosed and treated with a three-day delay. Due to a lack of awareness and knowledge of this sporadic syndrome, he was operated on 72 hoursafter onset of symptoms.

Acute Extremity Compartment Syndrome
Journal of Trauma Nursing, 2000Acute 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.

Background acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is one of the few true emergencies in orthopedics and traumatology. It is a painful condition caused by the increase interstitial pressure (intracompart-mental pressure - ICP) within a closed osteofascial compartment which impair local circulation.

This review summarises the present knowledge of acute compartment syndrome, which is a time-critical diagnosis threatening both life and limb of the affected patients. Acute compartment syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, which in equivocal cases can be supported by direct intra-compartmental pressure measurement and laboratory values. Imaging can detect

A compartment syndrome is characterized by increasing pressure in any fixed volume space within the body. This will lead to decreasing blood flow into the compartment with reduced tissue perfusion and subsequent tissue ischaemia. The term compartment syndrome is most commonly associated with the musculoskeletal system.
