“…If symptoms persist despite ongoing treatment and conservative treatment fails to alleviate symptoms, an operative treatment should be considered 14 . Available surgical procedures were reported as direct repair 15 , fascial grafting 16 , fasciotomy 7,17 , partial muscular excision and more recently mesh grafting 18,19 . Direct repair is possible when the defect is small and the laxity of the borders permits approximation.…”

“…Direct repair is possible when the defect is small and the laxity of the borders permits approximation. However, muscle herniation, particularly of the anterior compartment, is generally not repaired by fascial closure because of the potential for ensuing anterior compartment syndrome 12,15 . Likewise, fascial grafts and side-to-side closures are not recommended, as these may lead to compartment syndrome.…”

Background: muscle herniations usually present in athletes especially in the lower legs; occurring through defects in the deep fascial layer of the muscles and typically seen following local blunt trauma or muscle hypertrophy after strenuous exercise. Management of muscle hernias varies from conservative therapy to surgical repair and usually needs multidisciplinary collaboration for differential diagnosis. Methods: herein tibialis anterior muscle hernia in 17-year-old male soccer player was presented. The diagnosis was confirmed with dynamic ultrasonographic views changing with the different movements of the ankle. Since the symptoms were not relieved with conservative methods, surgical repair of the defect was offered. Results: we preferred to repair fascial defect with double layer and Mesh graft that were placed over primary suture repair. No complications were reported such as wound or mesh infection postoperatively. The patient was clinically satisfied and returned his previous activity level after 3 months of surgery. After 2 years of follow-up the feature of the bulge was dissolved and player was satisfied with the operation. Conclusion: knowledge of the lower extremity muscle herniation is essential for both proper management and/or surgical referral. The importance of protective devices in prevention, dynamic ultrasonography in diagnosis and double layer repair of the fascial defect with Mesh graft in treatment of muscle herniations were highlighted.

BeschouwingRichard von Volkmann gaf in 1881 de eerste beschrijving van het compartimentsyndroom. 1,2 Hij beschreef de contractuurvorming die na traumata van verschillende ledematen optrad. In 1926 toonde Jepsen voor het eerst aan dat intracompartimentele drukverhoging ischemie kan veroorzaken. 1,3 In 1976 definieerde Mubarak het compartimentsyndroom als volgt (vrij vertaald): 'Het compartimentsyndroom ontstaat als er sprake is van een abnormale toename van weefseldruk in een afgesloten (osseo-)fasciale ruimte, hetgeen leidt tot belemmering van de weefselperfusie in die afgesloten ruimte'. 4 AnatomieIn het onderbeen bevinden zich vier spiercompartimenten (zie figuur). [5][6][7] Ten eerste het anterior compartiment, waarin zich de m. tibialis anterior, m. extensor hallucis longus en m. extensor InleidingHet compartimentsyndroom of logesyndroom is voor de meeste artsen geen onbekende diagnose. Het roept een beeld op van nare onderbeenfracturen, patiënten in ziekenhuisbedden met externe fixateurs en grote, gapende wonden van enkel tot knie die zijn ontstaan na chirurgisch ingrijpen om het been te redden. In de casus laten we zien dat het compartimentsyndroom niet alleen het gevolg is van ernstige trauma's, maar ook andere verschijningsvormen kan aannemen. De incidentie wordt geschat op 1 per 100.000.
