Compartment syndrome occurs when the pressure within a compartment increases, restricting the blood flow to the area and potentially damaging the muscles and nearby nerves. It usually occurs in the legs, feet, arms or hands, but can occur wherever there's an enclosed compartment inside the body.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is an exercise-induced muscle and nerve condition that causes pain, swelling and sometimes disability in the affected muscles of the legs or arms.
An acute compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency in which decompression is required to restore perfusion [1]. Nontraumatic causes of limb compartment syndrome in children include ischemia-reperfusion events after arterial injury, thrombosis, burns, bleeding disorders, and blunt injury [1], [2], [3], [4].
Compartment syndrome occurs when increased pressure within a compartment compromises the circulation and function of the tissues within that space [1,2]. Compartment syndrome may occur acutely, often following trauma, or as a chronic syndrome, seen most often in athletes, that presents as insidious pain.
Overview. The definitive surgical therapy for compartment syndrome (CS) is emergent fasciotomy (compartment release). The goal of decompression is restoration of muscle perfusion within 6 hours. Following fasciotomy, fracture reduction or stabilization and vascular repair can be performed, if needed.
