Background And Aim Of The Work: Intersection syndrome is an uncommon and underdiagnosed condition, especially found in sport overuse. This case report describes the treatment of a professional motor biker who presented intense wrist pain and swelling after training sessions.
Methods: The athlete was treated with rest, the use of a wrist splint combined with NSAIDs, physical therapy, including pulsed Nd-YAG laser therapy and exercise, such as stretching and release, massage and eccentric training.
Objective: To evaluate results of mini-open fasciotomy (MOF) in high-level motorcycling or motocross riders with chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) at long-term follow-up (minimum 5 years).
Design: Case series.
Level Of Evidence: IV.
Objective: Evaluate treatment and outcome of mini-open fasciotomy (MOF) in a population of adolescent motorcycling racers affected by forearm chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS).
Design: Prospective case series.
Setting: University hospital/private practice.
Background: Hypothermia is an independent predictor of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with trauma. Several strategies and products have been developed to minimise patients' heat loss in the prehospital arena, but there is little evidence to inform the clinician concerning their effectiveness.
Methods: We used a human torso model consisting of two 5.
