Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) occurs bilaterally in approximately 60% of patients. Fasciotomy is the primary corrective treatment. We hypothesized that bilateral fasciotomy can be done during the same operative procedure with early return to sports and low complication rates METHOD:Sixteen patients had simultaneous bilateral lower extremity fasciotomies for CECS confirmed by compartment pressure testing before and after exercise. Ten patients had concomitant superficial peroneal neurolysis for associated numbness. All patients who were athletes (six runners; nine ball sports) (average age 25 years) had sports related pain limiting participation. RESULTS:Patients were followed for an average of 16.4 (range 6 to 48) months. Full return to sports participation occurred at an average of 10.7 weeks. Three patients continued to have mild, but much improved, pain with active sports participation, while 13 were pain free. All 11 patients with exertional related numbness had resolution after operative release. All patients were satisfied and all patients stated that they would have simultaneous fasciotomies again if required. As a nonmatched comparison, three patients who had staged fasciotomies for bilateral CECS were also evaluated, but because of the small number no statistical comparison was made. All three also returned to their previous levels of sports participation, however, at an average of 22.7 months as compared to 10.7 weeks in patients with simultaneous bilateral releases. CONCLUSION:Bilateral simultaneous fasciotomies for CECS can be done safely and effectively with early return to sports participation and low complication rates.
