  • Title: [The anterior compartment syndrome of the leg].
    Author: Parca S, Tobaldi F, Palego E, Galante V, Bonfili GF.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1981 Sep 15; 36(17):1119-24. PubMed ID: 7290427.
    Abstract:
    The Authors define the compartment syndrome as a pathological condition collecting various clinical pictures constantly characterized by a rise of pressure in a restricted and inextensible not modifiable space, with circulatory difficulty and suffering of the tissues in this district. The only diagnosis is clinic. Functional and instrumental semiotics aren't of great aid. The quickly evolving clinical picture commands a timely diagnosis and a precocious intervention to reduce compartmental pressure by fasciotomy and eventual epimysiotomy effectual in the first twelve hours.
