| Abstract | Chronic exertional compartment syndrome can occur in all body parts in which compartments can be found. Most frequently, it emerges in the lower leg (95 %) in athletes, in whom running represents the greatest strain. The diagnosis consists of the patient's history, elinical status, radiological procedures and press ure measurements in connective tissues within the damaged compartment. When pressure exceeds normal values, fasciotomy is required.This artiele contains the descriptions of elinical characteristics in cases with affected lower leg, as well as their diagnostics and therapy. | |
