PAIRING FASCIOTOMY AND SILICONE SPACER INSERTION WITH A RAT MODEL OF COMPARTMENT SYNDROME
… The current standard of care for CS is surgical fasciotomy which involves an incision through the muscle fascia to relieve compartmental pressure. This may save the limb, but often results in scarring and reduced muscle function. Our gr oup previously developed a ra t model of CS for exploring …

Functional outcomes and patient satisfaction after fasciotomy performed for chronic exertional compartment syndrome
Study Rationale: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome often forces patients to change their sporting activities or reduce their level of participation. Many undergo surgery with the aim to return to their activities symptom free. The aim of the study was to determine if fasciotomies for chronic …

Therapeutic Application of Carbon Monoxide in Acute Limb Compartment Syndrome
… decompression of all involved compartments by fasciotomy is the current gold-standard therapy, but it must be performed within a surgical window of 6-8 hours, before tissue damage becomes permanent. Carbon monoxide (CO), a byproduct of heme metabolism, has been shown protective in ischemia. …

Effect of Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Molecule-3 on the Severity of Endothelial Dysfunction Due to Elevation of Hydrostatic Pressure in an In Vitro Model of Compartment Syndrome
… the only effective treatment is surgical fasciotomy. Recently, carbon monoxide (CO) delivered via carbon monoxide releasing molecule-3 (CORM-3) has been shown to improve microvascular perfusion and convey anti-inflammatory benefits in animal models of CS. The contribution of elevated …

Penetrating femoral artery injuries : an urban trauma center experience
… secondary amputation was the result of a delayed fasciotomy for compartment syndrome post revascularisation of a threatened limb. The rest were due to prolonged ischemic time despite attempted revascularization. There were no deaths in this study. Univariate analysis showed that statistically …
