Compartment Syndromes

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2010
Compartment syndrome can be defined as increased tissue pressure within a closed myofascial space, resulting in disturbed microcirculation and the potential for irreversible neuromuscular ischemic damage. It may present either acutely or chronically.

Compartment syndromes

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2005
Compartment syndrome occurs when pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischaemia. Two distinct conditions are recognized: acute and chronic (exertional) compartment syndromes. Differences in aetiology, pathophysiology and management are elaborated on in this article.

Compartment syndromes

Current Orthopaedics, 1989
The compartment syndrome is defined as a condition in which high pressure within a closed fascial space (muscle compartment) reduces capillary blood perfusion below the level necessary for tissue viability'. This condition occurs in acute and chronic (exertional) forms, and may be secondary to a variety of causes.

On the stochastic theory of compartments: II. Multi-compartment systems

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1973
A stochastic model is developed for a system of interconnected compartments. The generating function of the random variable of any compartment can be constructed from a flow graph involving the expectations of the random variables of all compartments of the system.

COMPARTMENT SYNDROMES OF THE HAND

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1996
We retrospectively reviewed the records of nineteen patients who had been managed with fasciotomy because of compartment syndrome of the hand. The patients were five months to sixty-seven years old and included ten adults and nine children. Seventeen patients were followed for an average of twenty-one months (range, one to fifty-eight months), one ...

Compartment Syndrome

Orthopaedic Nursing, 2004
Compartment syndrome is a possible complication for every patient with a fracture, sprain, or orthopaedic surgery. Complete evaluation of the patient is necessary on a continual basis to determine any deviation from the normal range of the neurovascular parameters.

ACUTE COMPARTMENT SYNDROMES

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1983
A prompt diagnosis and decompression of acute compartment syndromes are essential in order to reinstate capillary perfusion and prevent irreversible sequelae. The anatomy, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of the syndrome are considered.

Acute compartment syndrome

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.

The multi-compartment vehicle routing problem with flexible compartment sizes [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Operational Research, 2015
In this paper, a capacitated vehicle routing problem is discussed which occurs in the context of glass waste collection. Supplies of several different product types (glass of different colors) are available at customer locations. The supplies have to be picked up at their locations and moved to a central depot at minimum cost.

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome in the Medial Compartment of the Foot

Foot & Ankle International, 2008
Background: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the foot has been previously described. There has been debate over the exact number and location of compartments. The involvement of the medial compartment has been consistently described in case reports; however, there is little in the orthopaedic literature on the exact anatomy for the fasciotomy
