Long-term results of surgical decompression of chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm in motocross racers.

Background: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is occasionally observed in the forearm flexor muscles of motocross racers. Long-term results of fasciectomy and fasciotomy for this syndrome are scarce.

Purpose: To study the long-term effects of 2 surgical techniques for forearm flexor CECS.

An uncommon ankle sprain.

Objective: Ankle sprain is the most frequently occurring acute injury in tennis, accounting for 20-25% of all injuries. In the current paper, we assess the cause of ankle sprain and suggest possibilities to be considered during diagnosis.

Methods: We assessed a professional tennis player with a partial tear of the long peroneal tendon after an ankle sprain by physical exam, X-ray and MRI.
