Fasciotomy in the Upper Extremity: Its Indications and Technique

Abstract

Compartment syndrom as a result of crush injury is frequently seen after an earthquake disaster. The treatment of the compartment syndrome is to do a fasciotomy. Fasciotomy is a process, in which the fascia surrounding the compartment is incised, and thus the elevated intracompartmental pressure is reduced. Knowledge about the indications and technique of the fasciotomy is essential for the survival of an extremity. Although it seems simple, the procedure has some certain rules. Since these rules are usually being undervalued, indications and the technique of the fasciotomy in the upper extremities is reviewed here.
