Article Synopsis
- Cumulative lumbar disorders are common in the workforce, often caused by lifting heavy loads, repetitive movements, and high-velocity activities, with a lack of experimental data specifically linking high-velocity movements to these issues.
- The study aimed to experimentally confirm that high-velocity lumbar flexion-extension leads to a significant increase in proinflammatory cytokines in the viscoelastic tissues.
- Results showed that cytokine levels were notably higher in subjects subjected to high-frequency loading, suggesting that such exposure can lead to acute inflammation and potentially chronic issues impacting lumbar health.
Background: To describe the patient population, etiology, and complications associated with thigh compartment syndrome (TCS). TCS is a rare condition, affecting less than 0.3% of trauma patients, caused by elevated pressure within a constrained fascial space which can result in tissue necrosis, fibrosis, and physical impairment in addition to other complications.

Despite collaborative trauma and orthopedic management of these difficult cases, significant delays in diagnosis and treatment occur. Periodic system review of our trauma and orthopedic data for complications of LECS led us to hypothesize that delayed diagnosis and limb loss were potentially preventable events in our trauma center.
