Fasciotomies performed through single or multiple incisions may fail to totally release the fascia of the afflicted compartment(s) and may result in injury to neurovascular structures that cannot be visualized.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Purpose: The authors report results of endoscopic compartment release with the assistance of a balloon dissector in the treatment of chronic exertional compartment syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: The clinical outcomes of 14 cases of chronic exertional compartment syndrome in 9 patients treated with endoscopic release were assessed with a retrospective chart review and the results of mailed questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Fourteen legs in 9 patients (4 male and 5 female; average age, 24 years) were treated with endoscopic compartment release for chronic exertional compartment syndrome. Eight of 9 patients were able to resume preoperative activities, including collegiate athletics in 5 cases and recreational sport in 3 cases. No neurovascular injuries occurred. Complications were isolated to postoperative hematomas that resolved in 2 patients. Seven patients completed questionnaires an average of 3.75 years after surgery. There were no recurrences of symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Endoscopic compartment release is a cosmetic, safe, and effective means of treating chronic exertional compartment syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546510363415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,16]],"date-time":"2010-04-16T22:25:22Z","timestamp":1271456722000},"page":"1661-1666","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Endoscopic Compartment Release for Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Jocelyn","family":"Wittstein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"Claude T.","family":"Moorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
