• Questions/purposes: We investigated whether the stiffness or thickness of the muscle fascia could help explain the raised intramuscular pressure and thus the associated chronic compartment syndrome symptoms. (regsj.dk)

Shin8

• Another condition which may be confused with shin splints is anterior compartment syndrome where the swelling of muscles within a sheath/compartment creates pressure that leads to pain, unusual nerve sensations, and/or muscle weakness. (sportsperformancept.com)
• Anterior shin - Start in a kneeling position and sit on your heels while keeping the top of your foot flat on the floor. (sportsperformancept.com)

• However, the pain that might cause the most problems while running is commonly known as anterior shin splints. (indianapolispersonaltraining.com)
• Trigger points can cause the Tibialis Anterior to be weaker than normal, which puts extra stress on these connective muscle fibers when we run or jog, causing significant pain and injury along the shin bone. (indianapolispersonaltraining.com)
• Please note that pain along the front of the shin can also indicate a serious condition, called Anterior Compartment Syndrome, especially when the pain is accompanied by swelling, pallor, numbness, loss of pulse, or paralysis. (indianapolispersonaltraining.com)

Acute compartment syndrome2

• The cycle of events leading to acute compartment syndrome begins when the tissue pressure exceeds the venous pressure and impairs blood outflow. (medscape.com)
• Crush syndrome trauma or rhabdomyolysis may also lead to an acute compartment syndrome. (medscape.com)

Fasciotomy2

• The surgery mentioned is known as a fasciotomy, and involves cutting the connective tissue sheaths surrounding the swollen compartment to reduce intracompartmental pressure (fair warning - if you have a strong stomach, you can see gruesome photos of this surgery here ). (runblogger.com)
• The definitive surgical therapy for compartment syndrome is emergent fasciotomy (compartment release), with subsequent fracture reduction or stabilization and vascular repair, if needed. (medscape.com)

Fascia2

• This is a condition in which the fascia that surround the muscles on the anterior part of the leg appear to be tight, so that during exercise when the muscle tries to expand, it can't. (podiatrydaily.com)
• Compartments are separated from one another by special bands of fascia called intermuscular septa. (visiblebody.com)

Mediastinum6

• Last, a number of disease processes of the anterior mediastinum manifest secondary to biochemical activity in the form of paraneoplastic/immunologic syndromes. (mhmedical.com)
• 1 The mediastinum is generally divided into three separate compartments (anterior, middle, and posterior), the anatomic boundaries of which have been previously described. (mhmedical.com)

• Diagnosis is made by obtaining compartment pressures at rest, during exercise and post-exercise. (orthobullets.com)
• Diagnosis of posterior ankle impingement syndrome is based primarily on clinical history and physical examination. (reumatologiaclinica.org)
• It is important to add a definitive pressure measurement to assure a definitive diagnosis of compartment syndrome. (c2dx.co)
• Proven in many clinical studies, the diagnosis of compartment syndrome can be easily missed or delayed, and the cost of a delayed or missed diagnosis to the patient and to the hospital can be extreme. (c2dx.co)
• The diagnosis is often delayed or missed entirely due to the lack of education around compartment syndrome and the immediate pain attribution to other conditions. (c2dx.co)
• The role of echocardiography in the diagnosis of an anterior mediastinal tumor presenting with hemodynamic compromise secondary to pericardial tamponade has been reported. (medscape.com)

Nerve7

• If left untreated or if inadequately treated, the muscles and nerve within the compartment undergo ischemic necrosis, and a limb contracture, called a Volkmann contracture , results. (medscape.com)
• His 1872 publication documented nerve injury and subsequent contracture from compartment syndrome following supracondylar fracture. (medscape.com)
• MR signs of muscle denervation within the anterior compartment are important secondary signs for evaluation of the peroneal nerve. (springer.com)

Pressures1

• The physician measured the patient's compartment pressures immediately and the patient obtained pressures of 40mmHg in both anterior compartments. (c2dx.co)

Mediastinal9

• The anterior mediastinal compartment plays host to a number of unique pathologies, both benign and malignant. (mhmedical.com)
• Unlike other common neoplastic pathologies of the chest (lung, esophagus), clearly defined and potentially modifiable risk factors for malignancy tend not to be relevant with respect to anterior mediastinal disease processes. (mhmedical.com)
• In that context, understanding the unique demographic profiles of patients presenting with anterior mediastinal pathology allows for a focused diagnostic approach and limits the often costly utilization of unnecessary studies. (mhmedical.com)
• Bearing in mind the significant overlap in cross-sectional radiographic characteristics of typical anterior mediastinal pathology (i.e., germ cell, lymphoma, thymoma), CT alone is rarely diagnostic. (mhmedical.com)
• A fat-fluid level within an anterior mediastinal mass is virtually diagnostic of a teratoma, indicating the existence of sebum. (medscape.com)
• Smooth, well-defined anterior mediastinal tumor with heterogeneous attenuation associated with calcific intratumoral nodules suggests a mediastinal teratodermoid. (medscape.com)

• Patient with asymmetrically placed anterior mediastinal mass. (medscape.com)
• Imaging features include a large, anterior mediastinal mass that may contain large areas of hemorrhage and necrosis. (medscape.com)

Ankle dorsiflexion1

• Previous research suggests that ankle position can influence intracompartmental pressure (ICP) in the anterior compartment (e.g., forefoot running decreases anterior compartment pressure , and ankle dorsiflexion increases ICP in the anterior compartment ). (runblogger.com)

Etiology1

• The incidence of compartment syndrome depends on the patient population studied and the etiology of the syndrome. (medscape.com)

CECS1

• The idea is that by having patients with CECS adopt a forefoot striking running style, they would reduce pressure in the anterior compartment where this muscle is located, reduce eccentric activity in this muscle, and thereby reduce pain and disability associated with the condition. (runblogger.com)

Ischemic necrosis1

• Rapid swelling, increased tension, pain, and ischemic necrosis of the muscles of the anterior tibial compartment of the leg, often following excessive PHYSICAL EXERTION . (bvsalud.org)

Flexion3

• The anterior compartment of the arm contains the coracobrachialis and the prime movers of elbow flexion, the muscles that flex the elbow joint: the biceps brachii and brachialis. (visiblebody.com)
• The posterior ankle impingement syndrome is a condition resulting from soft tissue compression between the posterior process of the calcaneus and the posterior tibia during ankle plantar flexion. (reumatologiaclinica.org)
• A literature review on conservative treatment of the posterior ankle impingement syndrome suggests that the initial treatment should aim at decreasing inflammation with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and activity restriction (avoidance of forced plantar flexion). (reumatologiaclinica.org)

Lateral compartment1

Orbital5

• Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is an ophthalmic emergency. (aao.org)
• Any increase in the orbital volume leaves little room to accommodate tissue expansion in this compartment. (aao.org)
• As a result, the orbital compartment pressure increases. (aao.org)
• The anterior orbital boundary, the eyelids and orbital septa, limits globe proptosis in the acute setting, necessitating the need for lateral canthotomy/cantholysis to allow for full globe proptosis. (aao.org)
• There are newer techniques of orbital compartment pressure measurement with needle manometry that are being developed in order to more accurately measure orbital pressure. (aao.org)

Tumors2

• The most common tumors and masses in the anterior compartment are of thymic, lymphatic, or germ cell origin. (medscape.com)
• Tumors originating from lymphatic, vascular, or mesenchymal tissues can also be found in this compartment. (medscape.com)

Carpal Tunnel S1

• Carpal tunnel syndrome is another reason for chronic wrist pain. (elitemedicalsupply.com)

Muscles of the anterior1

• The muscles of the anterior compartment of the upper arm. (visiblebody.com)

Pain6

• The connective tissues that encapsulate these muscle compartments do not stretch much, and thus excessive swelling in these compartments can lead to diminished blood flow to the affected tissues, as well as compression of nerves leading to pain. (runblogger.com)
• During exercise, the muscles swell slightly within the enclosed compartment, cutting off the flow of blood to and from the tissues and causing severe pain. (chiroeco.com)
• With anterior compartment syndrome, people get a sharp pain after running for five to 10 minutes," Hare says. (chiroeco.com)
• The pain is localized over the dorsum of the foot and anterior leg. (orthobullets.com)

• Strengthening the hip external rotators and hip extensors, for example, is a key component in the rehabilitation of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. (thestudentphysicaltherapist.com)

Distal2

• Late manifestations of compartment syndrome include the absence of a distal pulse, hypoesthesia, and extremity paresis, because the cycle of elevating tissue pressure eventually compromises arterial blood flow. (medscape.com)
• It lies posterior to the distal femur and anterior to the popliteal vein. (medscape.com)

Elbow1

• In contrast, the posterior compartment of the arm contains the muscles that extend the elbow joint: the triceps brachii and anconeus. (visiblebody.com)

Surgical2

• The long-term consequences of ACS are serious, and although rare, include surgical release of the compartment. (chiroeco.com)
• Treatment generally involves surgical fasciotomies of the compartments involved. (orthobullets.com)

Cystic2
