Abstract
A 52-year-old man presented with a bicondylar tibial plateau fracture and acute compartment syndrome. Continuous compartment pressure monitoring was used while the patient was treated with fasciotomies and application of an external fixator. The intraoperative pressure reading in the anterior compartment decreased from 105 mm Hg to 50 mm Hg after skin and subcutaneous tissue incision. Pressure continued to decrease to 10 mm Hg after all 4 compartments were released. The patient underwent staged open reduction and internal fixation and healed both fracture and fasciotomy incisions without complication. To our knowledge, this is the first report of continuous pressure changes during the different stages of a compartment release. Future studies could expand on use of this technology to gain information on compartment pressures during release and how single release affects pressures in other compartments.

期刊介绍：
For over 40 years, Orthopedics, a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal, has been the preferred choice of orthopedic surgeons for clinically relevant information on all aspects of adult and pediatric orthopedic surgery and treatment. Edited by Robert D''Ambrosia, MD, Chairman of the Department of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado, Denver, and former President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, as well as an Editorial Board of over 100 international orthopedists, Orthopedics is the source to turn to for guidance in your practice.
The journal offers access to current articles, as well as several years of archived content. Highlights also include Blue Ribbon articles published full text in print and online, as well as Tips & Techniques posted with every issue.
