Q

Ix for CECS

A
  • dynamic intra-compartmental study = ONLY RELIABLE ONE
  • pre/post-exercise MRI
  • NIRS
  • microdialysis

Pressure related condition- the other Ix don’t work well

Q

Types of intra-compartment pressure studies

A
  • Injection- A+E- good for acute but not chronic
  • infusion technique- barely used
  • non-infusion technique
  • Micro-tip- doesn’t use catheter so doesn’t get blocked by fluid. Can only measure anterior compartment

Q

CECS conservative Tx

A

Limited efficacy

  • physio- acupuncture, trigger point release, deep massage
  • orthoses
  • botox- muscle perfuses during relaxation. By releasing muscle contraction can reverse cycle

Q

Surgical Mx for CECS

A
  • superficial fasciotomy
  • fasciectomy

this is the only definitive treatment
Keep patient ACTIVE as soon as possible (if no drains)
6 weeks RTP if this is done correctly
endoscopic is the best- don’t need to cut entire leg

Q

Sx superficial peroneal entrapment syndrome

A
  • leg pain, relieved by rest within minutes
  • non-specific anterior compartment
  • UNILATERAL (unlike CECS)
  • tightness, tenderness, ache and parasthesia near sock line
  • young, active individuals

Q

Ix for Superifical peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome (aka fibular nerve)

A
  • diagnostic local anaesthetic- 0.5 chirocaine/marcaine (ask to run, when feel pain inject, then ask to run again and they feel no pain)
  • nerve conduction studies

Q

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome- common types

A

6 types, common are type 1+2

1: medial head of gastroc is normal but popliteal artery deviates more medially
2: medial head of gastroc is located laterally but popliteal artery is normal

Q

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome Ix

A
  • duplex doppler USS- first line
  • funcitonal ABPI- first line
  • arteriography
  • MRI/MRA- diagnostic
  • CTA- useful to see arterial calcification
17
Q

Functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome Mx

A

Surgery to reconstruct popliteal artery

18
Q

MTSS Hx

A
  • pain in legs some during and mostly after exercise
  • pain lasts hours-weeks after stopping
  • site of pain lower 1/3rd of medial tibia (can be ant tibia)
  • often change in intensity/duration/surface/shows etc
  • can be bilateral or unilateral
19
Q

Ix MTSS

A
  • Plain radiograph rule out sarcoma etc
  • isotope bone scan
  • PET CT
  • MRI = GOLD STANDARD
  • bloods - female triad
20
Q

MRI classification of MTSS

A

Fredericson classification system

  • grade 1 = periosteal oedema
  • grade 4 = fracture (rarely progresses to this)
21
Q

Ddx for pain in anterior compartment LL

A
  • CECS of AC

- Tibialis anterior muscle syndrome

22
Q

Ddx for pain in posterior compartment LL

A

1) Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome

  • radiculopathy
  • low lying soleus / accessory soleus
  • CECS of superificial posterior compartment
  • myofascial tears
  • myopathy
23
Q

Ddx for pain in lower 1/3rd medial tibia

A

1) MTSS

  • stress fracture
  • CECS deep posterior compartment
24
Q

Blood tests for LL pain

A
  • vit B12
  • Vit D
  • CK
25
Q

pathognomic sign for popliteal artery entrapment

A

Palpation of the popliteal and pedal pulses.

Pulse loss during both passive dorsiflexion and forced plantar flexion.

Pulse reduction can occur in individuals without abnormalities.
