  • Title: Compartment syndromes.
    Author: McNamara BR.
    Journal: P N G Med J; 1975 Jun; 18(2):109-12. PubMed ID: 1061455.
    Abstract:
    A patient is presented who developed the Compartment Syndrome, following blunt trauma to the lower limb. A "fibulectomy-fasciotomy" was performed. This allowed restoration of normal peripheral circulation of the limb but failed to prevent ischaemic necrosis developing in the anterior tibial, peroneal and posterior tibial compartments. Compartment Syndromes in the lower limb are discussed, with a view to their early recognition and management.
