Anterior Compartment Syndrome Anterior compartment syndrome, also known as anterior shin splints arises when the big muscle on the outside front of the lower leg becomes too big for the sheath that surrounds it causing pain. Anterior compartment syndrome can be acute or chronic. Acute compartment syndrome is sudden onset and causes considerable pain. It is often due to an injury or impact to the big tibialis anterior muscles at the front of the leg which swells up. Chronic anterior compartment syndrome comes on gradually and may be due to the muscle growing too big for the sheath surrounding it.

- A clinical history is the first step in the evaluation of an injury or condition that may produce a compartment syndrome. Clinical examination may confirm the diagnosis in the presence of clear evidence of increased tissue pressure, inadequate tissue perfusion, and loss of tissue function.

Compartment Syndromes of the Upper Extremity Elbow flexion and extension are painful, but are better tolerated than finger or wrist movement. When the dorsal compartment is involved, sensation to the hand and fingers is usually normal, because the posterior interosseous nerve has no sensory component. There often is weakness of thumb, finger, and wrist extension.otor weakness to the fingers may be present, but is often difficult to assess due to pain and swelling. A convex-shaped palm can be associated with compartment syndrome. Physical examination of the hand for compartment syndrome is very difficult.

Causes, Treatment, and Prevention of Shin Splints Muscle trauma (exertional compartment syndrome) is often related to overtraining or excessive running on hard surfaces. Repeated use makes the muscles swell and puts pressure on the fascia that covers the muscles in the lower leg leading to pressure and pain. Bone trauma to the lower leg can result in stress fractures.

- Compartment syndrome is caused by an increased pressure within a closed anatomical space, which compromises the circulation and function of the tissues within that space. This may result in temporary or permanent damage to muscles and nerves. Compartment syndrome may be acute or chronic: 1  Acute compartment syndrome is most often caused by trauma, which may be relatively minor. 2  Intense exercise can also cause acute compartment syndrome. 3  Acute compartment syndrome requires prompt diagnosis and urgent treatment.

Fasciotomy for Acute Compartment Syndrome 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.
