    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Care

    Background:

    • Vascular compartment syndrome (VCS) presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Understanding its etiopathogenesis is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review 33 cases of VCS over a 5-year period.
    • To discuss pathophysiology, clinical features, and establish a treatment-based classification.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 33 VCS cases (1968-1973).
    • Analysis of etiopathogenetic factors.
    • Development of a clinical classification for treatment guidance.

    Main Results:

    • Seven case reports highlight diverse etiopathogenetic factors.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Mild VCS cases managed with ice, elevation, and observation.
  • Severe VCS cases treated with fasciotomy, with two distinct techniques described.

    • Conclusions:

    • A clinical classification aids in VCS treatment decisions.
    • Fasciotomy is the primary surgical intervention for severe VCS.
    • Specific fasciotomy techniques are indicated for single- versus multicompartment syndromes.
