  33. Compartment Syndrome • Most common location = Anterior Compartment of the Lower Leg Usually from closed tibia fracture • Other sites • Thigh • Arm • Buttock • Foot orthoinfo.aaos.org/figures/A00204F01.

  34. Compartment Syndrome Diagnosis Clinical Tense compartment to palpation Severe pain with passive range of motion Severe compartment tenderness Impaired sensory exam Decreased distal perfusion Pulseless = Too Late Extensive tissue necrosis present Serial Exams are Critical www.hopkins-arthritis.org/physician-corner/cme/rheumatology-rounds/images/rounds11/slide22.jpg

  35. Compartment Syndrome • Measurement of Compartment Pressures • Unresponsive patients • Pressure > 30 to 45 = Indication for Fasciotomies • Diastolic BP – Compartment Pressure < 30 = indication for Fasciotomies www.hopkins-arthritis.org/physician-corner/cme/rheumatology-rounds/images/rounds11/slide22.jpg

  36. Compartment Syndrome • Treatment • Surgical Fasciotomies • Fasciotomy within 12 hours = 68% normal functional result • Hydration • Monitor electrolytes • Monitor for infection of fasciotomy sites upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Fasciotomy_leg.jpg

  37. Lower Leg Fasciotomies • 2 incisions • 4 compartments • Anterolateral Incision Anterolateral Incision Anterolateral Incision img.medscape.com/pi/emed/ckb/orthopedic_surgery/1230552-1270542-199.jpg

From Trauma More often iatrogenic (A-line or IV infiltrate) 10 Osseofascial Compartments Carpal tunnel release 1 or 2 dorsal incisions No sensory nerve symptoms Pressure > 20mmHg = CS Thenar and Hypothenar Compartment Fasciotomies jmedicalcasereports.com/content/figures/1752-1947-1-6-2.gif Dorsal Interosseus Compartment Fasciotomies jmedicalcasereports.com/content/figures/1752-1947-1-6-1.jpg

  44. Rhabdomyolysis Damage to skeletal muscle Crush Injures cells Decreases perfusion Metabolic Cell lysis due to edema Calcium in sarcoplasmic reticulum Muscle contractions Depletes ATP Damage to mitochondrion Reactive oxygen species Neutrophils migrate Increased inflammatory response Muscle compresses local structures > Compartment Syndrome > Decreased Perfusion Muscle cells release potassium, phosphate, myoglobin, creatine kinase and uric acid

  45. Rhabdomyolysis Myoglobin Nephrotoxic Muscle swelling Intravascular volume deficit Renal hypoperfusion Uric acid Precipitates in renal tubules Myoglobin Accumulates in renal tubules

  46. Rhabdomyolysis Myoglobinuria Plasma myoglobin > 1.5 mg/dL Myoglobin casts cause nephron obstruction Urine Acidification Tea-colored urine Urine dipstick + for blood Urine – for red blood cells on microscopy lifeinthefastlane.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/image_34.jpg

  47. Rhabdomyolysis Management Replete Volume Mannitol Increases flushing of myoglobin from renal tubules Effective radical scavenger Sodium bicarbonate Alkalization of Urine Decreases cast formation Decreases direct toxic effect of myoglobin on the renal tubules bioephemera.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/jimstanisg1.jpg

  48. Myositis Ossificans Severe blunt trauma Intra-muscular hematoma Delayed ossification of the soft tissue Suspected to be due to premature return to strenuous activity Most common sites: - arms - quadriceps • Treatment - Conservative - Rarely, surgical debridement www.radiologyassistant.nl/images/thmb_4acef1936b33836.jpg
