Q

grades of muscle strain: severity, presentation and common length of recovery
I
II
III

A

grade I- minimal damage to single muscle (>5%), generally 2-3 weeks recovery
minimal loss of strength and motion

grade II- more extensive but not completely ruptured
generally 2-3 months before a complete return to athletics
significant loss of strength and motion. These injuries may require

Grade III: Complete rupture of a muscle or tendon
These can present with a palpable defect in the muscle or tendon
generally need surgery

common cause
how do it present?
does anything increase pain?

how is it confirmed
treatment

A

confirm dx by intercompartmental pressure measurements

relieved by emergency fasciotomy

treatment

A

activity related symptoms

most common compartments:
anterior
deep posterior

39
Q

acute exertional compartment syndrome
when does it occur
etiology

A

occurs during intense, repetitive exercise, most frequently long distance runners… repetitive muscle contraction or acute trauma causes muscles to swell

etiology: tissues can’t expand to alleviate pressure, nerves and BV compressed => ischemia (pain) and sensory disturbances

increase P => decrease venous flow => increased capillary leakage => decreased arterial flow

40
Q

poor biomechanics that can lead to compartment syndrome (4)

A
  1. overstriding
  2. increased heel strike
  3. increased pronation
  4. weak hip or core muscles causing increased ground reaction forces

  3. numbness or tingling
  4. weakness
  5. foot drop in severe cases

dx - how and normal and abnormal #s

A
  1. several minutes to come on
  2. progressively worsens
  3. stops 15-30 minutes after cessation of exercise

dx:
use needle catheter to measure pressure in compartment immediately after intense exercise

normal 0-10mm Hg
dx: > 35mm Hg post exercise

43
Q

conservative management of compartment syndrome (5)

A
  1. activity modification => cross training
