Abstract
Compartment syndrome of the leg in sports is often due to repetitive strenuous activity and is relieved with rest. The anterior compartment is the most commonly affected. We report a rare case of isolated sub acute peroneal compartment syndrome after horse riding. The diagnosis was suspected on clinical grounds and supported by intracompartmental pressure measurements, after which a decompression fasciotomy was performed. It is important that clinicians and athletes alike are aware of this condition and its risk factors to prevent the potentially catastrophic sequelae of a delayed diagnosis.
