Numbness: there is always a small amount of numbness of one side of the wound.Wound breakdown: can result in larger scars and require further surgery or dressings.The main significant risks that occur with compartment releases are: Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a rare cause of lower leg pain incurred during sports activities and typically affects young athletes who need to. Infection, bleeding, bruising and blood clots can occur with any lower limb surgery. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) presents as pain, muscle tightness, and impaired muscle function induced by activity, and is due to an abnormal increase in intramuscular pressure (IMP). Fully weight bearing with crutch support.Strict elevation of the legs for the first 10 days.It is performed under a general anaesthetic and involves one or two 7 cm incisions on each leg and then longitudinal fascial releases. Other than avoiding the precipitating activity the only reliable way to cure CCS is decompressive surgery. This testing is performed by one of the sports physicans I work closely with involves the measurement of the pressures in your legs ( with a needle ) before and after exercise. Often it is suspected on history and the diagnosis confirmed with compartment pressure testing. Scans and xrays can not reliably diagnose CCS. The symptoms only disappear when the exercise is ceased and the legs elevated. It normally occurs with the same amount of exercise every time. Typically patients notice a cramping type pain when they run or walk briskly. In most patients both legs will be affected.
The lower leg has four separate compartments all of which can be affected. This condition occurs when the muscles in an enclosed compartment swell which in turn limits the blood supply to this group of muscles.
