Twenty patients with tibial fractures had measurements of tissue pressure in the anterior compartment acutely and for the first 72 hours following injury. Measurements were made using a mercury monometric indicator similar to that described by Whitesides. Patients with fractures of the proximal third of the tibia, those with displacement of the fracture fragments greater than 50%, and those whose injury was the result of high-energy trauma developed higher compartment pressures and we conclude that such patients should be observed closely for the development of a compartment syndrome. In normotensive patients in this series fasciotomy was not necessary for tissue pressures less than 50 mm Hg in the absence of any sensory or motor compromise.
20例胫骨骨折患者在受伤后即刻及伤后72小时内对其前侧骨筋膜室的组织压力进行了测量。测量采用了一种类似于Whitesides所描述的汞测压指示剂。胫骨近端三分之一骨折、骨折碎片移位大于50%以及因高能创伤导致损伤的患者，其骨筋膜室内压力更高，我们得出结论，应对这类患者密切观察骨筋膜室综合征的发生情况。在本系列血压正常的患者中，若骨筋膜室压力低于50mmHg且不存在任何感觉或运动功能受损，则无需进行筋膜切开术。
