摘要
Compartment syndrome of the upper extremity is rare, but happens frequently. It most often affects the forearm, compartment syndromes of the upper arm and hand are seen much more seldom. Early diagnosis and efficient fasciotomy is of highest importance to achieve good outcome and prevent development of Volkmann's ischemic contracture.
