1/29. Compartment pressure monitoring during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.A prospective double blind randomized study was carried out using 20 healthy males with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency undergoing bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction. The subjects were randomized into either water or saline irrigation and then underwent identical reconstructive procedures using an arthroscopic pump. Continuous preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative pressures were monitored using the slit catheter technique. blood pressure and compartment pressure measurements were continuously recorded and noted at all stages of the procedure. Mean preoperative anterior and posterior compartment pressures were similar in both groups. No significant differences were noted between the anterior and posterior compartments of each group. No difference between water and saline irrigation was identified throughout the procedure. In both groups, postoperative pressures were slightly lower in the anterior and posterior compartments compared with preoperative pressures, but not significantly.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/29. Anterior cruciate ligament injury in indoor ball games.Three videorecorded incidents of knee injuries inflicted during indoor ball games are reported. Injuries and especially anterior cruciate ligament ruptures seemed to be triggered in varus loaded knees by femural external rotation, or in valgus loaded knees by femural internal rotation with the pivot shifted to the lateral femurotibial compartment. The observations suggest that it may be to the players' advantage to be trained in not letting their knees sag medially or laterally during side-stepping or sudden changes in speed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/29. Ski boot compression syndrome.The extensor tendons and peroneal nerve can be compressed at the ankle by the tongue of the ski boot. The resulting neuritis and synovitis may be severe enough to mimick an anterior compartment syndrome. Treatment consists of conservative methods but the paresthesiae may remain for long periods of time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 141.27487601305keywords = anterior compartment syndrome, anterior compartment, compartment syndrome, compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/29. Subacute femoral compressive neuropathy from iliacus compartment hematoma.BACKGROUND: Traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma in the iliacus muscle is an unusual but potentially serious cause of femoral compression neuropathy. CASE REPORT: We describe the clinical, imaging, and management features of a case of traumatic iliacus retroperitoneal hematoma with delayed manifestation of femoral neuropathy. DISCUSSION: The anatomical substrate for hematoma formation with subacute compression of the femoral nerve is emphasized. A subacute compartment syndrome with progressive edema, swelling and ischemia of iliacus compartment is suggested as the underlying cause. Early fasciotomy with or without hematoma evacuation should be considered in order to provide rapid decompression and to minimize the chance of permanent nerve injury.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.4935685305845keywords = compartment syndrome, compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/29. Knee arthroplasty in post-traumatic arthritis.Post-traumatic arthritis of the knee can involve the tibiofemoral joint, patellofemoral joint, or both joints. In the tibiofemoral articulation, disabling injuries include articular crush, condylar split, shaft involvement, ligamentous injuries, or a combination. In the patella, similar injuries include articular crush, large or stellate displaced fractures, tendon disruption, or a combination. Cementless mobile-bearing knee arthroplasty principles and implants can provide satisfactory long-term results in patients with complex post-traumatic knee arthritis. Primary, resurfacing unicompartmental or total knee implants can be used for articular damage, whereas more complex modular or constrained implants and osteotomies are needed for angular or combined deformities. Bearing exchange revision may be needed for young, active patients within 20 years of their initial arthroplasty.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/29. Acute bilateral exercise-induced medial compartment syndrome of the thigh. Correlation of repeated MRI with clinicopathological findings.We present a case report of acute bilateral excercise-induced compartment syndrome in the adductor longus muscles, which was treated with bilateral medial fasciotomies. Postoperatively, the healing process of the adductor muscles was followed up by repeated MR imagings over six months. Myonecrosis was found in peroperative muscle biopsies. pain and muscle swelling subsided soon after the fasciotomy, correlating with the early postoperative MR findings. Four months postoperatively, the signal intensity of the adductor muscles was normal in T1- and T2-weighted images, but the normal fibre structure of the adductor muscles could only be seen 6 months postoperatively. At six month's control checkup there was no subjective weakness of the adductors, and hyperesthesia had disappeared and the patient was capable of normal activities.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6.2178426529226keywords = compartment syndrome, compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/29. Sport-induced lipoma.lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue tumour in human beings. It can be seen in all parts of the body and occupies the subcutaneous compartment predominantly. The pathogenesis of lipoma is still unknown, but trauma is one of the most implicated etiological factors. We report about two athletes with a very quickly grown lipoma on their right scapular area. One was a professional volleyball player and the other one was a table-tennis player. Both patients were right-handed. To our knowledge, there has been no report on sport-induced lipoma in the literature. We speculate that chronically minor traumas especially to the scapular area, in which fat tissue is located between the bone and the firm skin, may trigger the formation and enlargement of lipoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/29. Compartment pressures after closed tibial shaft fracture. Their relation to functional outcome.We measured pressures in the anterior and deep posterior compartments continuously for up to 72 hours in 20 patients with closed fractures of the tibial shaft treated primarily in plaster casts. All were examined independently after periods of three to 14 months. Pressures above 40 mmHg occurred in seven (35%) and above 30 mmHg in 14 (70%). No patient had the symptoms of compartment syndrome during monitoring. Abnormalities at review did not correlate with the maximum consecutive time periods during which the compartment pressures were raised. Thus, in the absence of symptoms the monitored pressures did not relate to outcome. Routine monitoring in this type of patient is therefore of doubtful benefit.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.7435685305845keywords = compartment syndrome, compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/29. Acute lower leg compartment syndrome.Acute compartment syndromes in the lower leg are well recognized following major trauma. However, although rare, they may occur following seemingly minor sporting injury. A case of acute compartment syndrome, following a football game and affecting the peroneal or lateral compartment, is described, in which prompt diagnosis and treatment led to a satisfactory outcome. The diagnosis and surgical management of acute compartment syndromes are discussed. Early recognition and treatment are important in the prevention of long-term disability.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8.9549797140917keywords = compartment syndrome, compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/29. Third-degree lesions of the external compartment of the ankle: results of conservative treatment.ankle sprains are one of the most common lesions of the musculo-skeletal system. In some sports they are the most common reason that athletes seek medical care. For this reason many publications are dedicated to this subject, and specifically to the treatment of lesions of the external compartment, which account for about 85% of all ligamentous lesions of the ankle (O'Donoghue, 1958). The treatment of these lesions is very controversial. Some orthopedists propose early surgical treatment to restore normal healing with minimal functional lengthening. Others favor conservative treatment, while still others recommend functional treatment with the objective of accelerating the recovery of proprioceptive reflexes affected by the ligamentous lesion as well as stimulating healing by movement. The authors' diagnostic and therapeutic approach to lesions of the external compartment of the ankle is explained with special reference to lesions in athletes, who must be guaranteed perfect joint stability in order to tolerate the intense stress of sports activity without danger of relapse.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = compartment (Clic here for more details about this article) |
