Compartmental syndrome of the forearm: report of an unusual case.
Compartmental syndrome of the forearm is a well-recognized complication of upper extremity injuries. An unusual case of the syndrome is presented, which developed after a "sprained" wrist. The etiology of the syndrome in this case was possibly tearing of anterior compartment muscle fibers when the wrist was forcibly extended in the fall, or a reflex sympathetic arc set up by the wrist trauma.
