No pathology could be identified intra-operatively, or on follow-up imaging. A review of thigh compar...
متن کاملAcute compartment syndrome in tibial diaphyseal fractures.
We reviewed 25 patients with tibial diaphyseal fractures which had been complicated by an acute compartment syndrome. Thirteen had undergone continuous monitoring of the compartment pressure and the other 12 had not. The average delay from injury to fasciotomy in the monitored group was 16 hours and in the non-monitored group 32 hours (p < 0.05). Of the 12 surviving patients in the monitored gr...
متن کاملCompartment syndrome after tibial plateau fracture☆
Fractures of the tibial plateau are relatively rare, representing around 1.2% of all fractures. The tibia, due to its subcutaneous location and poor muscle coverage, is exposed and suffers large numbers of traumas, not only fractures, but also crush injuries and severe bruising, among others, which at any given moment, could lead compartment syndrome in the patient. The case is reported of a 58...
متن کاملAnterior tibial compartment syndrome following prolonged tetany.
A patient developed a persistent, disabling, bilateral anterior tibial compartment syndrome after salicylate self-poisoning. Prolonged tetany is postulated as the probable mechanism.

Compartment syndrome of the foot is usually associated with trauma, and if untreated may result in deformity and loss of function. We report a case of spontaneous compartment syndrome of the foot presenting with severe unremitting pain. The diagnosis was supported by measurements of compartment pressures and the symptoms resolved after surgical decompression. Spontaneous compartment syndrome in...
