title: [The pre-positioned intracutaneous suture--a method for treatment of soft tissue defects after fascia splitting in acute compartment syndrome].
abstract: In the treatment of the acute compartment syndrome open fasciotomy gives rise to a wide soft tissue opening. The persistence of this opening prevents a timely change to internal osteosynthesis in case of additional fractures usually treated by a fixateur externe. Closure of the skin defect itself requires additional surgery. The cosmetical results particular in cases of a mesh-grafting are unsatisfactory. After open fasciotomy the prepositioned intracutaneous suture is a simple operation technique leading to early wound closure with a good cosmetical result.
