“…Isolated AFCS of the extensor is reported and managed by a single incision to release the injured muscle 11–13. Additional surgery was needed to complete the debridement12: iterative muscle biopsies during initial fasciotomy and secondary wound closure showed extended muscle necrosis on histologic samples 13. Although palmar compartment release is sufficient to decompress the 3 compartments on a cadaver study, clinical studies show that additional dorsal fasciotomy may be required in up to 50% cases 14,15.…”

Acute forearm compartment syndrome is damaging but rare. Early treatment reduces mid and long-term sequelae. The palmar compartment is most frequently involved but the dorsal compartment and mobile wad are also at risk. Multiple fasciotomies approaches have been described but are associated with long-term complications. In particular, wound management is important. Mini-invasive techniques are not available for acute forearm compartment syndrome. Acute leg release via a single approach has been developed and proven effective. Likewise, we present a lateral S-shaped approach for fasciotomies of the 3 forearm compartments in the case of acute forearm compartment syndrome.
