An exercise-induced compartment syndrome of the dorsal forearm--a case report
The Journal of Hand Surgery
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
A 46-year-old male patient experienced extreme pain in the dorsal forearm after strenuous work. He had the classical physical findings of compartment syndrome and elevation of compartment pressure of 45 mm by direct measurement. A decompressive fasciotomy of the dorsal musculature provided total relief of pain, and subsequently full recovery of all function occurred.

01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...

01:21Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...
