BILATERAL ENDOSCOPIC FASCIOTOMY FOR CHRONIC EXERTIONAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME A CASE REPORT
Chronic compartment syndrome is a condition characterized by pain and sensations of increased pressure, usually induced by exercise, and its diagnosis is usually late. The aim of this report was to present a case of chronic compartment syndrome, in a young male patient, a recreational basketball athlete, whose diagnosis was made in 6 months based on the patient’s history and physical examination. The conservative treatment wasn’t effective, so the treatment of choice was bilateral endoscopic fasciotomy, which confers lower risks of infection and decrease in the time of return to sports when compared to the invasive technique
