“…While short-term outcome following fasciotomy reflected published data14 15 we have found long-term outcome (>12 months) to be disappointing, using objective measures 16. Both the previously reported groups used athletes or adolescents as subjects and may differ in that the ‘return to play’ criteria were less objective, which may explain the differences in outcome.…”

“…Some authors suggested that CECS may develop early during the athlete's sports career [14,15]. The level of practice may also influence the risk of CECS in Nordic skiers, elite skiers being more likely to develop CECS [16,17,19].…”

“…The prevalence of CECS is estimated at 7.6 % in the general population [5], and ranges from 10-60 % in populations of athletes with exercise-induced leg pain [6][7][8][9]. CECS is observed in sports involving endurance (middle and long distance) or intermittent (especially field games, football for instance) running [1,3,6,[10][11][12][13] and skating [14,15]. The population of Nordic skiers (cross-country skiers and biathletes) has also been reported to be at risk for CECS [8,[16][17][18][19], but to date, CECS prevalence in Nordic skiers remains unknown.…”

Features of Chronic Exertional Compartmental Syndrome of the Leg in Elite Nordic Skiers

This study aimed to assess prevalence and incidence of chronic exertional compartmental syndrome as well as functional outcomes after surgery in elite Nordic skiers. An exhaustive list of 294 elite Nordic skiers from the French national teams between 1994 and 2014 was analyzed through their individual medical files in order to identify cases of chronic exertional compartmental syndrome. Eighteen athletes had confirmed diagnosis and performed a structured interview to identify factors associated with chronic exertional compartmental syndrome and surgery outcomes. The prevalence was 6.1% and the incidence 13 per 1000 skier-years. Biathletes had a higher prevalence than cross-country skiers (OR=0.40, p=0.08). Free-technique skiing and roller-skiing were the main conditions inducing symptoms. All injured athletes had bilateral surgery and 94% of them reported no more or sporadic leg pain after. Almost 90% resumed competition at the same or higher level than prior surgery. Compare to previous studies, the incidence rate of chronic exertional compartmental syndrome is higher in French elite Nordic skiers. The higher prevalence in biathletes and the trigger during free-technique skiing suggest a contribution of this technique to this disease. This study also confirmed that surgery was an efficient therapeutic solution without compromising athletes’ career.

“…The need for pre and delayed measurements has been debated. Gracia-Mata and colleagues4 in their study on adolescents in Spain routinely performed pre, post, 5-min delayed and 15-min delayed testing. In their 2003 review article, Fraipont and Adamson5 discussed the various positive criteria at rest, postexertion and delayed but did not make a definitive recommendation that all or only exertional measurements were necessary.…”
