“…In particular, it has been demonstrated that cases without a fracture result in a significantly greater delay in fasciotomy than those with a fracture [ 8 ]. Lower extremity compartment syndrome, isolated to the lateral and/or anterior compartment secondary to an ankle inversion injury, has been reported in literature [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. More specifically, it has been evidenced in the literature that these ankle inversion injuries have commonly resulted in avulsion of the peroneus longus muscle which has led to the development of hematoma and anterior and/or lateral compartment syndrome [ 4 , 5 , 8 , 9 ].…”

In addition, avulsion of the anterior tibial artery and perforating branches of the deep peroneal artery have been implicated as the impetus for resultant anterior and/or lateral compartment syndrome following ankle inversion injuries [ 3 , 7 ].…”

“…Development of acute compartment syndrome is an unusual outcome following noncontact ankle sprains. There have only been a small number of case reports describing this uncommon consequence [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ].…”

Introduction Compartment syndrome is a limb threatening, and sometimes life-threatening medical condition. It usually occurs in high energy lower extremity injuries, commonly in the younger patient with classic signs and symptoms. Pain out of proportion to exam is one of the key elements in diagnosis. A high vigilance for signs and symptoms of this condition should be present on most physicians' radars who treat emergency conditions, as this case report demonstrates, the mechanism and story are not always classic. Presentation of cases Two cases of young, healthy adults who underwent fasciotomy for compartment release for compartment syndrome isolated to the anterolateral compartment, but who did not sustain a high energy trauma, but rather a twisting ankle injury. Conclusion Compartment syndrome can occur in young, healthy, active patients with a lower energy twisting injury and without fracture. A high level of suspicion on the clinicians' part will prevent adverse outcomes to the patient.

Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint, and rotator cuff (RC) pathologies are one of the main causes. The RC undergoes various tendinopathic and avascular changes during the aging process. Other degenerative changes affecting its healing potential make it an appealing target for biological agents. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has demonstrated the potential to deliver a high concentration of several growth factors and anti-inflammatory mediators, and its clinical use is mainly supported by experiments that demonstrated its positive effect on muscle, ligaments, and tendinous cells. This review aimed to specify the role of PRP and its future applications in RC tendinopathies based on the current clinical evidence. Due to the different characteristics and conflicting outcomes, clinicians should use PRP with moderate expectations until more consistent evidence is available. However, it is reasonable to consider PRP in patients with contraindications to corticosteroid injections or those with risk factors for inadequate healing. Its autologous origin makes it a safe treatment, and its characteristics make it a promising option for treating RC tendinopathy, but the efficacy has yet to be established.
