Compartment syndromes in the forearm.
This paper has been written in response to a reader's set of questions: "Do compartment syndromes in the forearm exist? "I am also curious about the effects of nerve compression syndromes in the forearm. "What are the signs and symptoms of ulnar nerve compression and where is Guyon's canal? "What are the signs of posterior interosseus nerve compression syndrome?" The author emphasises that the answers are based on his experience as a plastic surgeon and could vary according to the experience of the surgeon consulted.
