Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome

Hutchinson & Ireland — 2006-05-07 23:41:28 GMT

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome Gauging Pressure Mark R. Hutchinson, MD; Mary Lloyd Ireland, MD Department Editor: William O. Roberts, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 27 - NO. 5 - MAY 1999 Compartment syndromes are potentially serious problems in athletes. Acute compartment syndrome is an emergency that usually requires prompt surgical treatment. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), though less serious, is painful and persistent and may halt physical activity, so primary care physicians should be able to recognize CECS in athletes. Measuring compartment pressure is an effective way to confirm the diagnosis of CECS. Several measurement methods and devices are available (1,2): Whiteside's technique, using intravenous (IV) tubing, a three-way stop-cock, and a wall blood pressure gauge; the wick catheter technique, employing a specially prepared catheter that is connected to a pressure transducer; the continuous infusion technique, utilizing an ordinary needle or IV catheter, a pressure transducer, and a syringe infusion pump; and a commercially available, battery-operated, hand-held device, the Stryker Intracompartmental Pressure Monitor System (Stryker Instruments, Kalamazoo, Michigan). The first three techniques all require some practice to use effectively, and thus they may not be good choices for physicians who see patients with compartment syndrome only occasionally or rarely. The Stryker device, however, is simple enough to operate that physicians can reasonably expect to get accurate results even with only occasional use. Accordingly, measurement of compartment pressure with this device is our focus here.

Exertional Compartment Syndrome Of The Leg

Edwards & Myerson — 2006-05-07 23:41:28 GMT

Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Leg: Steps for Expedient Return to Activity Peter Edwards, MD; Mark S. Myerson, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 24 - NO. 4 - APRIL 96 In Brief: The pain and swelling associated with exertional compartment syndrome is caused by raised intracompartmental pressures possibly induced by muscle swelling or increased osmotic pressure. Although either the acute or chronic form of exertional compartment syndrome may occur, chronic is more common. Patients typically experience pain and swelling and may also have sensory deficits or paresthesias, and motor loss or weakness. Diagnosis is confirmed by intracompartmental pressure measurements before and after exercise. Although activity modification may alleviate symptoms, fasciotomy may be required.

The effect of a sports chiropractic manual therapy intervention on the prevention of back pain hamstring and lower limb injuries

Hoskins & Pollard — 2010-04-08 23:41:28 GMT

Results After 24 matches there was no statistical significant difference between the groups for the incidence of hamstring injury (OR:0.116, 95% CI:0.013-1.019, p=0.051) and primary non-contact knee injury (OR:0.116, 95% CI:0.013-1.019, p=0.051). The difference for primary lower-limb muscle strains was significant (OR:0.097, 95%CI:0.011-0.839, p=0.025). There was no significant difference for weeks missed due to hamstring injury (4 v14, chi2:1.12, p=0.29) and lower-limb muscle strains (4 v 21, chi2:2.66, p=0.10). A significant difference in weeks missed due to non-contact knee injury was noted (1 v 24, chi2:6.70, p=0.01).
Conclusions This study demonstrated a trend towards lower limb injury prevention with a significant reduction in primary lower limb muscle strains and weeks missed due to non-contact knee injuries through the addition of a sports chiropractic intervention to the current best practice management.
