[The anterior tibial syndrome (author's transl)].
The anterior tibial syndrome is caused by primary or secondary ischemia of the tibial muscles group. Acute onset of intensive pain, swelling of the muscles and reddening of the skin are the clinical features of the syndrome. The muscles enzymes are raised. The definite diagnosis is established by the typical "silent-EMG". Surgical decompression within 24 hours after onset of the symptoms is of essential prognostic importance.
