Significantly lower intramuscular pressure in the posterior and lateral compartments compared with the anterior compartment suggests alterations of the diagnostic criteria for chronic exertional compartment syndrome in the lower leg

The study published by Lindorsson et al. from the University of Gothenburg found significantly lower intramuscular pressure in the posterior and lateral compartments compared to the anterior compartments of the lower leg. Thus, common cut-off values for diagnosing chronic exertional compartment syndrome should be reconsidered. Approach the open-access full article

Modified anteromedial and anterolateral elbow arthroscopy portals show superiority to standard portals

Modified portals in elbow arthroscopy might help obtaining a better implant positioning with biomechanically superior fixation. New research shows a distal anteromedial and anterolateral portal placement would permit to obtain a more flattened trajectory of the screw placement, which should correlate with a superior biomechanical performance of fixation.
