Abstract
Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency. In fact, it is a “race against the clock” we will discuss our experience with two cases who presented with hand compartment syndrome after suffering numerous metacarpal fractures The treatment included a discharge incisions, metacarpal pinning, and close hand surveillance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research and The Journal of Pathology serve as translational bridges between basic biomedical science and clinical medicine with particular emphasis on, but not restricted to, tissue based studies.
The focus of The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research is the publication of studies that illuminate the clinical relevance of research in the broad area of the study of disease. Appropriately powered and validated studies with novel diagnostic, prognostic and predictive significance, and biomarker discover and validation, will be welcomed. Studies with a predominantly mechanistic basis will be more appropriate for the companion Journal of Pathology.
