Rhabdomyolysis after tourniquet use in proximal tibial osteotomy: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract: Rhabdomyolysis following pneumotic tourniquet use is an extremely rare complication. In this case report, we aimed to present an unusual tourniquet complication following proximal tibial osteotomy. A 55-year-old female patient was operated on for genu varum in our clinic. Postoperatively, an anuria developed, and liver and kidney function test levels increased. The patient was diagnosed with acute rhabdomyolysis, and an aggressive treatment was begun.

“…The clinical view had improved markedly at postoperative month 7, but the femoral muscles were atrophied compared with the other side. We associated the formation of rhabdomyolysis with the use of a tourniquet [23]. We observed a loss in the degree of improvement in 1 patient.…”

“…50 Furthermore, the onset of extensive muscle damage can lead to systemic lethal pathologies associated with inflammatory syndromes, acidosis, hyperkalemia or rhabdomyolysis-induced renal impairment associated with myoglobinurea. 51 In this context, Turkmen et al 52 recently were the first to report an extensive rhabdomyolysis after proximal tibial osteotomy by using a pneumatic thigh tourniquet, illustrating the importance to improve surgical tourniquet application. Therefore, to classify the potential pathological impact on skeletal muscle physiology, it is important to illustrate the underlying mechanisms of tourniquet application.…”
