1 The authors concluded that fasciotomy was usually contraindicated.

2 Fasciotomy under these circumstances endangers life and limb.

3 Delayed rescue, delayed fasciotomy, and radical debridement may worsen the physical prognosis.

4 The only indication for fasciotomy is when the distal pulse is absent and when both direct, major arterial injury and systemic hypotension have been excluded.

5 Indications for fasciotomy in crush syndrome during the acute phase need further deliberation.

6 The influences of time to rescue, fasciotomy, and radical debridement on lower leg muscle strength were evaluated by stepwise regression analysis.

7 Objective To investigate the role of fasciotomy in vascular injuries of the lower limbs.

8 We investigated the impact of fasciotomy revision and delayed release on combat casualties after air evacuation.

9 Objective To compare effect of fasciotomy for Volkmann contracture of the forearm immediately and neurolysis for Volkmann contracture of the forearm at 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks in the models.

10 Correlation between the time to fasciotomy and lower leg muscle strength was also analyzed.

11 Fasciotomy is necessary and useful to prevent the ischemic contracture.

12 The fasciotomy should be considered whether nonoperative treatment is invalid or early symptom of compartment syndrome has appeared in the injured extremity.

13 We investigated the impact of fasciotomy revision and delayed compartment release on combat casualties after air evacuation.

14 Therefore, this study suggests that conservative therapy is preferred prior to plantar fasciotomy when clinician treating patients with plantar fasciitis.

15 Tetsuya et al27 reviewed the results of the treatment of crushing injuries in the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and concluded that there was no evidence that fasciotomy improved the late outcome.

16 Conclusion: There are limited data on thigh compartment syndrome with respect to cause, use of one versus two incisions for fasciotomy, methods of wound closure, and complication rates.

17 He was found to have an anterior deltoid compartment syndrome and was treated with emergency fasciotomy with no adverse sequelae.

18 Results : Severe disabilities related to the lower leg compartment were present in 47%(8/17) of patients who underwent fasciotomy and in 16%(4/25) of patients who did not.

19 Due to severe sepsis, the first patient died on day 73 after emergent fasciotomy and debridement.

20 Methods All the operations were performed under the microscope, with the fasciotomy for decompression of the calf compartment postoperatively.

21 Conclusions: The measurement of tissue pressure systolic pressure and diastolic pressure has great clinical significance in the guidance of oppaortune time foa fasciotomy.

22 In view of the evidence that has accumulated it can now be categorically stated that fasciotomy is contraindicated in patients with closed acute muscle crush compartment syndrome.
