Abstract
|
|
|
|
Exertional compartment syndrome is an activity-related condition, often affecting young active persons. Clinical signs include the musculature pain that worsens with activity. The pathophysiology is somewhat unclear, but a temporary relative limb ischemia appears to be involved. The limb ischemia induces swelling and results in increased intracompartmental pressure. In general, chronic exertional compartment syndrome cases are diagnosed mostly in lower legs, and rarely in upper arms. So it is reported that the authors experienced a case of the superficial radial nerve injury following chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm in a professional bodybuilder.
