- Abstract
This paper reports the first case of chronic exertional compartment syndrome in the arm treated surgically. The diagnosis was made in a patient who is under 30 years old, military, and very athletic, with recurrent exertional pain in the anterior compartment of the arms associated with rhabdomyolysis. The high-pressure measurements in the arms' anterior compartment after exertional exercise confirmed the diagnosis. Given the patient's functional demands, a surgical treatment of fasciotomy of the anterior compartment by miniapproach was performed and allowed the resolution of symptomatology with a return to sport at the same level after 3 months.
