Chronic exertional compartment syndrome in adductor pollicis muscle: case report

Chang-Hun Lee et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2012 Nov.

Abstract

We report a case of chronic exertional compartment syndrome in the adductor pollicis that was confirmed by measuring elevated compartment pressure. Specific finding of magnetic resonance imaging, increased T2 signal intensity in the involved compartment, was also useful for the diagnosis. Pain was relieved by fasciotomy through a volar approach.
