Resumen (ES)
Our experience on the management of 6 cases with bilateral chronic exertional
compartment syndrome of the legs is presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by the measurement
of the compartment pressure with slit catheter. Intramuscular pressure was considered abnormal
when the basal pressure was not regained 15 minutes after the exercise with consistent symtomatology.
Double complete subcutaneous fasciotomy was performed in the 6 patients obtaining complete
recovery of the symtoms and improvement of the performance in all of them. Patients started
training six weeks after surgery. Neither complication or relapse was found during a mean
follow-up of 2 years (1-3).
