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.

Acute Compartment Syndromes

Surgical Clinics of North America, 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.

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.

Compartment Syndrome of the Foot

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2022
Foot compartment syndrome is an uncommon condition that should be recognized by all orthopedic surgeons. The clinical presentation is often less clear than other limb compartment syndromes and requires high clinical suspicion with a low threshold for direct measurement of compartment pressure.

Abdominal compartment syndrome.

Minerva chirurgica, 2010
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) are frequently encountered in critically ill patients and carry a high morbidity and mortality risk. Despite these facts, IAH/ACS are still overlooked by many physicians and therefore timely diagnosis is not made and treatment is often inadequate. All clinicians should be aware

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 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 ...

The pelvic compartment syndrome

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 1992
In the pelvic region three major compartments (gluteus medius-minimus compartment, gluteus maximus compartment, and iliopsoas compartment) can be distinguished from the smaller compartment of the tensor fasciae latae muscle. Pelvic compartment syndromes are rare. A clear history of trauma is often lacking.

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.
