The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of surgical fasciotomy and conservative management for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) concerning symptom relief, functional recovery, and patient satisfaction. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library identified studies comparing surgical fasciotomy with conservative management for CECS. Four studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising both retrospective and prospective cohort designs.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a well-described potential cause of leg pain in high-level athletes and soldiers. Surgical treatment of chronic exertional compartment syndrome usually involves fasciotomy, with a reported rate of complications of up to 16%, including failure of complete compartmental release and delayed return to normal daily activity, which can take up to 6 to 12 weeks. The use of a minimally invasive approach under ultrasound guidance seems to improve clinical outcomes in young active patients.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) of the forearm is a rare but increasingly well-recognized condition that affects athletes and labor workers performing repetitive isometric loading of forearm musculature. There is no current consensus on surgical management for CECS of the forearm, and there is a paucity of literature to support a single technique. We describe the surgical management of CECS of the forearm with endoscopic forearm fasciotomy.

Objective: Patients with lower leg deep posterior chronic exertional compartment syndrome (dp-CECS) experience exercise-induced calf pain and tightness. Retrospective studies suggest that outcome after a fasciotomy is suboptimal. This prospective case series determined success rates of a fasciotomy and identified factors predicting outcome.
