Summary

Anconeus muscle compartment syndrome is rare, typically affecting the forearm's volar compartment. Releasing the anconeus muscle fascia relieved symptoms in this unique case.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal System Anatomy
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Forearm compartment syndrome commonly involves the volar compartment.
  • The anconeus muscle, located in the posterior forearm, is rarely implicated in compartment syndrome.

Observation:

  • A case of compartment syndrome specifically affecting the anconeus muscle was identified.
  • Symptoms included pain and dysfunction localized to the anconeus muscle region.

Findings:

  • Surgical release of the anconeus muscle fascia was performed.
  • This intervention led to the resolution of compartment syndrome symptoms.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of compartment syndrome locations.
  • Fascial release of the anconeus muscle is a viable treatment for anconeus compartment syndrome.
  • Highlights the importance of considering less common anatomical sites for compartment syndrome.
