Exercise induced leg pain: chronic compartment syndrome. Is the increase in intra-compartment pressure exercise specific?
Intra-compartment pressure studies remain the main investigative method in diagnosing chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). Standard exercise protocols have been used to cause the raise in pressure measured in the laboratories. This case suggests that CCS cannot be excluded without the specific sports activity being used to raise the intracompartmental pressure.
متن کاملExercise pain in the lower leg. Chronic compartment syndrome and medial tibial syndrome.
The aetiology of pain in the lower leg during exercise has been studied in 110 athletes by monitoring intracompartmental pressure during exercise and by technetium bone scans. Patients were assigned to three diagnostic groups: chronic compartment syndrome, medial tibial syndrome and those with non-specific findings. Our results indicate that subcutaneous fasciotomy of the affected compartment(s...
متن کاملRole of Repeat Muscle Compartment Pressure Measurements in Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Lower Leg
BACKGROUND The diagnostic gold standard for diagnosing chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a dynamic intracompartmental pressure (ICP) measurement of the muscle. The potential role of a repeat ICP (re-ICP) measurement in patients with persistent lower leg symptoms after surgical decompression or with ongoing symptoms after an earlier normal ICP is unknown. PURPOSE To study wheth...
متن کاملChronic exertional compartment syndrome of the leg.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is an underdiagnosed cause of chronic exertional leg pain. The syndrome most commonly occurs in young adult recreational runners, elite athletes, and military recruits. CECS is caused by increased intracompartmental pressure within a fascial space; however, the mechanism of why pain occurs is unknown. Symptoms are classically pain in the affected c...
متن کاملExercise-induced anterior tibial compartment compression syndrome in the elderly.
Introduction A compartmental syndrome is defined as a condition in which elevated pressure in an osteofascial compartment produces dysfunction or necrosis of the enclosed tissues (Matsen, 1975). The anterior tibial compartment (ATC) is surrounded by dense fibrous tissue, bone and interosseous membrane forming a rigid boundary, thus making raised pressure especially likely to be damaging. The AT...
