Abstract:
Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is still an emergent situation in traumatic orthopaedics. Its pathophysiologic mechanism and treatment principles have already been recognized and established widely. The main factors which affect the prognosis are early diagnosis and timing of surgical treatment. This review analyzes the methods of clinical and instrumental diagnosis,rectifies some misunderstandings in clinical evaluation and makes suggestions on appropriate monitoring.
