Abstract
Compartment syndromes (CS) represent an emergency involving both muscles and tendons, and their clinical diagnosis is not always easy. CS occurs when interstitial pressure increases in a fascial space, resulting in the impairment of microcirculation, causing tissue ischemia. If it is not recognized and treated early, it can lead to muscle necrosis, rhabdomyolysis, and systemic disease in severe cases. The most common causes are:Fractures caused by high-energy traumaCrush injuriesSevere bruisingSnakebitesDressings that are too tightPlaster castsFile in questo prodotto:
