ABSTRACT:This paper outlines 3 cases of acute isolated peroneal (lateral) compartment syndrome following exertion, minor trauma or overuse. Compartment syndromes are usually associated with crush injuries or fractures; they are an uncommon development following minor trauma or overuse. In acute isolated peroneal compartment syndrome the diagnosis is often delayed, resulting in permanent impairment. Persistent or worsening pain following a minor injury or overuse is typical, and the initial physical findings are often nonspecific, although swelling and tenderness out of proportion to the described injury are common. Marked increase in pain with passive inversion and dorsiflexion of the ankle should suggest the diagnosis. In cases that present late or where the diagnosis is initially missed, there is often a common peroneal nerve palsy. As with all compartment syndromes, prompt diagnosis and surgical decompression is necessary to prevent permanent impairment.

Exertional Compartment Syndrome

AbstractExercise-induced lower leg pain may be caused by chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). Anterior or deep posterior compartments are usually affected. Knowledge about CECS of the lateral compartment (lat-CECS) is limited and outcome after fasciotomy is unknown. The purpose of this study is to report on success rates of fasciotomy in patients with lat-CECS. Surgical success rates in patients with lat-CECS diagnosed with a dynamic intracompartmental pressure (ICP) measurement were studied using a questionnaire (success: excellent or good as judged by the patient; unsuccessful: moderate, fair or poor). We conducted ICP measurements in 247 patients for suspected lat-CECS, of whom 78 were positively diagnosed. Following exclusion (n=11), 30 of the eligible 67 patients completed the questionnaire. Bilateral (70%, n=21/30) exertional pain (97%, n=29) and a feeling of tightness (93%, n=28) were the most frequently reported symptoms. Four years after fasciotomy, severity and frequency of symptoms had dropped significantly. Long-term surgical success was reported by 33% (n=10; excellent n=4, good n=6). Seventy-three percent (n=22) had resumed sports activities (9 same level, 13 lower level). In conclusion, a fasciotomy for lat-CECS was successful in the long term in just one of three operated patients in this retrospective study.
