Abstract
We report a case of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) affecting the volar forearm compartment of an elite rower. CECS of the forearm is a less well recognised entity than lower limb CECS. We describe a typical history and detail a potential treatment.
Highlights
While acute compartment syndrome, often secondary to trauma, is a well-known entity, chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a less well-recognised diagnosis
As with the acute form, CECS can affect any of the large fascial compartments but is more recognised in the lower limb [1, 2]
We present a case of CECS of the forearm occurring in an elite female rower
Summary
We report a case of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) affecting the volar forearm compartment of an elite rower.
