A compartment syndrome of the forearm after a fracture of the distal radius is presented. This rare complication should be considered after high velocity trauma in young people. In this setting, we prefer general anesthesia for fracture reduction. Fracture fixation and avoidance of circular casts are recommended. Repeated evaluation allows early detection of compartment syndrome. Fasciotomy should be done if this syndrome occurs.
本文报道了1例桡骨远端骨折后前臂骨筋膜室综合征。这种罕见的并发症在年轻人遭受高速创伤后应予以考虑。在这种情况下,我们更倾向于采用全身麻醉进行骨折复位。建议进行骨折固定并避免使用环形石膏。反复评估可早期发现骨筋膜室综合征。如果发生该综合征,应行筋膜切开术。
