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.

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2016Compartment syndrome in children can present differently than adults. Increased analgesic need should be considered the first sign of evolving compartment syndrome in children. Children with supracondylar humerus fractures, floating elbow injuries, operatively treated forearm fractures, and tibia fractures are at high risk for developing compartment ...

Compartment Syndrome in Children
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1994The development of compartment syndrome is a well-recognized clinical entity. The diagnosis and management of compartment syndrome in the adult population is well established. Because of the difficulty with cooperation in physical examination of children with pain, the early recognition of compartment syndrome in this group of patients can be more ...

The ‘silent’ compartment syndrome
Injury, 2009Intractable pain out of proportion to the injury sustained is considered to be the earliest and most reliable indicator of a developing compartment syndrome. We report 4 cases where competent sensate patients developed compartment syndromes without any significant pain.

Hand Clinics, 2018
Acute hand compartment syndrome is a potentially devastating condition a hand surgeon may be called on to evaluate and treat. This pathophysiologic cascade of events that begins with an inciting event progresses to increased intracompartmental pressure, tissue necrosis, and resultant morbidity and potentially mortality.

Orthopaedic Nursing, 1996
Chronic compartment syndrome (CCS) is a possible explanation of leg pain in the exercising patient. This review article provides background information on CCS, focusing on its most frequent site of occurrence, i.e., the lower leg. Clinical history, diagnosis, compartmental tissue pressure measurement, conservative therapy, surgical intervention ...

Extremity Compartment Syndromes
2016All surgeons caring for patients with trauma to the extremities or practicing vascular surgery must be able to recognize and surgically treat compartment syndromes. Compartment syndrome (CS) results from a variety of etiologies with the final common pathway being increased compartmental pressure that exceeds the arterial inflow with resultant ischemia ...

Compartment Syndrome of the Hand
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2016Hand compartment syndrome has many etiologies; untreated, it has dire functional consequences. Intracompartmental pressure exceeding capillary filling pressure causes decreased tissue perfusion resulting in progressive ischemic death of compartment contents. Clinical findings can evolve.

The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
2010A compartment syndrome exists when increased pressure in a closed anatomic space threatens the viability of surrounding tissue. When this occurs in the abdominal cavity, the impact on end-organ function within and outside the cavity can be devastating. The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is not a disease, but a clinic syndrome that has many causes
