Article Synopsis
- - Exertional compartment syndrome (ECS) is commonly overlooked in athletes and can be treated surgically with fasciotomy, but recurrence of symptoms is relatively high, between 3% to 17%.
- - A study of 78 legs from athletes showed that those experiencing paresthesia (tingling or numbness) had significantly worse pain and activity levels after surgery, especially if the paresthesia affected the tibial nerve.
- - Results indicate that patients with paresthesia prior to surgery are likely to have poorer outcomes post-fasciotomy, leading to recommendations for careful monitoring of such symptoms in ECS patients.
