Abstract des Autors
Although compartment syndromes can occur in several anatomic regions, the most commonly seen in athletes involve the leg. Chronic compartment syndromes of the upper extremity are rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The intracompartmental pressures causing chronic symptoms in these cases ranged between 22 mmHg at rest and 40 mmHg after 30 minutes of exercise. Under maximal contraction, a pressure of 58 mmHg has been recorded. The object of this paper is to report a case of a tennis player where much higher flexor-pronator muscle intracompartmental pressures than those noted above were recorded. We compared the intracompartmental pressure data of this patient with intracompartmental pressures measured in six symptom-free volunteers. Verf.-Referat
