“…The optimal surgical approach is debated. Some favour a wide open or a minimally open operation, whereas others promote an endoscopic release, all having similar beneficial results 2 3 30. Complication rates are frequently not reported.…”

“…Given the rarity of CECS in the forearm, there have been few studies on the outcomes of fasciotomy of the upper extremity. As previously stated, forearm CECS has been described in rowers11 and motorcyclists 5,12,13. For patients that fail nonoperative therapy (eg, massage, stretching, splinting, activity modification), fasciotomy is recommended, as it generally offers excellent results 3,5.…”

“…The authors highlighted that recovery time and smaller scars were advantages of this approach. Barrerra-Ochoa et al12 did a comparative study on the long-term results of wide-open versus mini-open fasciotomy after 45.35±12 months of follow-up. They found no significant difference between the surgical groups.…”

“…Conventionally, treatment of compartment syndrome is open surgical fasciotomy, which is associated with complications of open surgery, including pain, scarring, adhesions, and infection [2]. To reduce complications, less-invasive approaches have been developed aiming to maintain efficacy and reduce postoperative pain, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce recovery time vs. open surgery [3, 4]. These include using Metzenbaum or endoscopic scissors via small skin incisions [5, 6] and ultrasound-guided meniscotome instruments [7].…”
